Initial analysis

The 11-unit residential building at 505 E 94th Street in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, owned by Rodney Burton, has a mixed record spanning its almost 100-year history. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved building code violations as of August 2024, all stemming from recent complaint-driven inspections, which represent a concerning pattern of ongoing regulatory issues. In the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of 14 building code violations and 11 service requests through the 311 system. The 311 service requests have primarily centered around tree-related issues, with six emergency tree service requests recorded between 2025 and 2026, though one recycling pickup request from April 2026 was processed and marked as closed. The building's permit history shows minimal activity, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years. While the property has maintained its original 1928 structure, the concentration of recent building code violations and the limited responsiveness to regulatory oversight, as evidenced by multiple open violations, may warrant closer attention to resident safety and building maintenance conditions.

Risk rating

How 505 E 94Th Chicago'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
2ndpercentile

Out of 1649 buildings in this neighborhood, 1616 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.
