Initial analysis

The property at 9737 S Prairie Ave 1 in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Marcus Washington. The building's recent service request history is particularly concerning, with multiple incidents recorded between 2025 and 2026, all occurring within a one-week period in June 2026, including three separate dead animal-related complaints and two vacant/abandoned building complaints, one of which remains open along with an active sanitation code violation as of the latest records. These recent events, especially the open sanitation violation and vacant building status, suggest significant current maintenance and safety challenges. While a stray animal complaint from June 2026 was resolved, and another vacant building complaint from June 2025 was closed, the concentration of service requests in 2026 and the nature of these calls, particularly the combination of sanitation issues and vacant building status, may indicate substantial property management concerns that have developed recently.

Risk rating

How 9737 S Prairie Ave 1'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
