Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 10942 S Western Ave in the Morgan Park neighborhood, owned by Ted R Restko, has a documented history dating back to its 1956 construction. The most recent and pressing concerns involve rodent activity, with two rat-related complaints filed through the Alderman's office in late 2024 and mid-2025, both of which were subsequently closed. Looking further back, the property experienced illegal dumping incidents in 2003 and 2009, with the latter case resulting in an administrative hearing and a $1,000 fine for violating municipal code 7-28-060. While the building's documented complaints are relatively few in number, with just two 311 service requests in the past seven years, the concerning pattern of rodent issues in recent years may warrant attention. The property has been subject to minimal regulatory scrutiny through 311 complaints, with no additional documented environmental violations or service requests in the past decade beyond those mentioned.

Risk rating

How 10942 S Western Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of Chicago code enforcement data — building violations, 311 complaint history, environmental enforcement, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that the City of Chicago will find a code violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
33rdpercentile
