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 four-unit residential building at 10240 S Wallace St in Washington Heights, owned by Babatunde A Oloyede, is a historically significant property dating back to 1880. The building has maintained minimal permit activity over the past seven years, with only one permit filed during this period. The property has experienced some challenges with waste management and environmental maintenance, as evidenced by several fly dumping complaints and other service requests. Most notably, there have been multiple fly dumping incidents reported between March 2025 and June 2026, with at least one complaint still open as of June 2026. The building's maintenance history also shows a tree removal inspection request from March 2025 that remains unresolved. Two environmental maintenance requests were successfully addressed: a weed removal request in August 2025 and a recycling pickup request in May 2024, both of which were marked as closed.

Risk rating

How 10240 S Wallace St'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
