Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 10229 S Racine Ave in Washington Heights, owned by Milton Chandler, was constructed in 1926 and has been subject to various municipal interactions over the past seven years. The property has recorded three building violations during this period, along with a total of 14 separate 311 service requests. Most recently, in December 2025, there were two consecutive reports of stray animal incidents, both of which have been resolved as closed cases. Earlier in the year, there was one instance of garbage cart maintenance required, which was also addressed and closed. Presently, there is an open complaint regarding damage to a street light pole (as of May 2025), which reflects ongoing infrastructure concerns in the vicinity. The building's documented history suggests relatively minimal maintenance issues from a residential perspective, though the higher recent activity level in 2025 could indicate either increased responsiveness to neighborhood concerns or potentially emerging environmental factors affecting the area.

Risk rating

How 10229 S Racine 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
98thpercentile

Out of 576 buildings in this neighborhood, 12 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
