Initial analysis

The property at 9942 S Lafayette Ave in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood is a 1928 building currently owned by James Maynie. Over the past seven years, there have been only two documented 311 service requests associated with the property, suggesting relatively few reported issues. Both incidents occurred in mid-2025, with one being a street light outage complaint in September and the other a weed removal request in July, both of which have been marked as closed. While the age of the building and limited service requests might suggest some degree of maintenance history, it's worth noting that neither of these reported issues directly related to the building's structural or living conditions, as they pertained to street lighting and exterior landscaping concerns.

Risk rating

How 9942 S Lafayette 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.
