Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 10016 S Torrence Ave in South Deering, owned by Ruben Gomez, has been in operation since 1927 and is part of a four-parcel ownership record. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 15 service requests through the 311 system, with varying degrees of impact on resident quality of life. The most concerning recent issues include a water in basement complaint and pet wellness check request from late 2025, the latter of which remains open as of the latest available data. Infrastructure-related concerns have also been documented, including street light outages and public way inspections in mid-2025, both of which were resolved. The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a sewer cleaning inspection request and garbage cart maintenance issue in 2025, both of which have been addressed. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, though this alone does not necessarily indicate any compliance concerns.

Risk rating

How 10016 S Torrence 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
94thpercentile

Out of 376 buildings in this neighborhood, 23 are predicted to be safer.
