Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 9730 S Winston Ave in Washington Heights, owned by C and Alma Wilson, is a 148-year-old structure dating back to 1875. Over the past seven years, the property has recorded three 311 service requests, all of which have been addressed and closed by city services. The most recent incident occurred in August 2025, involving a rodent baiting or rat complaint that required city intervention. Prior to this, there were two related tree incidents in the summer of 2024, including an emergency situation in June followed by a debris clean-up request in July, both of which were handled by the Streets and Sanitation department. While the building's documented service request history is relatively minimal, with just three incidents over a seven-year period, it's worth noting that the most recent recorded issue pertains to pest control, which could be of concern to prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 9730 S Winston 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
