Roseland, Chicago IL None 25153060450000 6 units · 1929

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 289 S Calumet Ave in Roseland, built in 1929 and currently owned by June R Jones, has experienced several municipal service requests in the most recent period for which data is available (2026). Of particular note, there have been multiple tree debris clean-up requests between April and June 2026, with one remaining open as of late May 2026. Additionally, there are two pressing ongoing infrastructure concerns: an open sewer cleaning inspection request and a water on street complaint from March 2026, both of which may impact resident comfort and safety. The property has generated a total of 14 service requests over the past seven years, though the majority of these have been clustered in 2026, suggesting either recent weather events affecting tree maintenance needs or an increase in reporting activity. The building's service request history shows relatively little activity prior to 2026, with the most recent documented cases being a closed garbage cart maintenance issue from April 2026.

Risk rating

How 289 S Calumet 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
17thpercentile
