Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 10817 S Calumet Ave in Roseland, owned by Thelma Tyson Grymes, has a troubling record over the past seven years. The most significant concern is the presence of six open, unresolved building code violations as of November 2020, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections on November 9th. These violations, which remain unresolved as of the most recent data, suggest ongoing compliance issues that may affect resident safety and comfort. Additionally, there was one more complaint-driven inspection violation from September 30, 2020, that also remains open. The property has recorded minimal official interactions with city services otherwise, including a single 311 service request for information in June 2024 (which was closed), and only one building permit to its name during this seven-year period. The building's documented history, with a total of nine code violations and only one permit issued in seven years, paints a picture of potentially insufficient property maintenance and oversight in a neighborhood dating back to its original construction in 1926.

Risk rating

How 10817 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

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.
