Initial analysis

The property at 11420 S Western Ave is a 4-unit residential building located in the Morgan Park neighborhood, constructed in 1957 and currently owned by 10725 S Westerns LLC. The building has reported two unresolved building code violations as of April 2023, both resulting from complaint-driven inspections, which are particularly concerning as these violations remain open and unresolved. Over the past seven years, there have been three 311 service requests associated with the property - two in 2024 (one regarding street cleaning and another checking for a leak) and one in 2025 concerning a street light outage, all of which have been successfully closed. While the street-related issues have been addressed, the most critical concern remains the two open building code violations from 2023, which warrant attention due to their potential impact on resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 11420 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
7thpercentile
