Roseland, Chicago IL 60628 25101100150000 4 units · 1923

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 9647 S Forest Ave in Roseland, managed by Olivia Property Management, has had a relatively stable record over the past seven years since its construction in 1923. The property's documented history shows minimal code violations, with only one resolved building code violation recorded in July 2019 through a complaint-driven inspection process. In terms of municipal service interactions, there have been two 311 service requests made in 2025: in May for garbage cart maintenance and in July for a sewer cave-in inspection, both of which have been marked as closed. While these service requests have been addressed, it is noteworthy that the building's management has a total of six 311 service requests on record, suggesting some historical maintenance engagement with city services. The building's permit history indicates only one permit has been issued in the past seven years. The property footprint is registered under two parcels, but the relatively low number of violations and service requests over this extended period could be seen as indicative of stable management, though the age of the building (100 years) must be taken into account when considering its maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 9647 S Forest 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
26thpercentile
