Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 9811 S Michigan Ave in Roseland, owned by Phyllis Reams, was constructed in 1956 and has experienced several maintenance and service issues over recent years. Of particular concern are six unresolved building code violations from November 15, 2019, and one additional unresolved violation from October 16, 2019, all of which stemmed from complaint-driven inspections. While not as critical as code violations, the building has had four 311 service requests in the past three years: two sewer cleaning inspection requests in March and June 2025, a garbage cart maintenance issue in July 2024, and a dead animal pick-up request in early July 2024. The relatively recent nature of the unresolved building code violations, now approaching four years old, suggests ongoing compliance issues, though the closed status of the 311 service requests indicates those particular matters were resolved.

Risk rating

How 9811 S Michigan 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

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
9thpercentile
