Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 10053 S Forest Ave in Roseland, owned by Stanley B Pruitt, has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved violations and service requests over recent years. Most notably, there are currently six open building code violations stemming from permit-related inspections and complaint-driven inspections, all from 2024, indicating ongoing compliance issues that have yet to be addressed. The property has a documented history of 24 building violations over the past seven years, suggesting persistent maintenance or regulatory challenges. In addition to these violations, there have been multiple service requests in 2026 related to garbage cart maintenance and recycling, all of which were resolved, though the frequency of these requests might indicate challenges with waste management infrastructure. The property has also experienced street infrastructure issues in 2025, with one pothole complaint received and resolved by the Department of Transportation, and a rodent control issue that was addressed through a baiting service. These records, particularly the concentration of recent open violations, suggest ongoing issues that merit attention while also indicating that some historical problems have been resolved through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 10053 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
