Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 238 E 108th Street in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, owned by Terrell M Shelton, was constructed in 1924 and has maintained a relatively low frequency of city service requests over the past seven years. The building's documented service history shows three 311 calls in this period, with the most recent being an information-only call from August 2025. Prior to this, there were two tree-related service requests in 2024: one for tree debris clean-up in July, which has been resolved, and another for tree planting in May of that year, which remains open as per the latest records. The minimal number of service requests and the nature of these calls, primarily relating to external landscaping matters rather than building or safety concerns, suggests that there have been no significant issues requiring municipal intervention in or around the building, at least based on the available public records up through October 2023.

Risk rating

How 238 E 108Th St'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.
