Initial analysis

The property at 10956 S Indiana Ave in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood is a 6-unit residential building constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Sonja M. Pearson. The building has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved issues, with six open violations recorded through complaint-driven inspections in November 2024. These recent violations, along with five service requests over the past seven years, suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The building's documented history includes two open sign repair requests in 2025, one from May and another from November, indicating attention to building signage issues. There have also been two instances of fly dumping complaints in 2024 (March and November), both of which were resolved, as well as a building violation report filed in September 2024 that was subsequently closed. While some past issues have been addressed, the current cluster of open violations from November 2024 represents the most significant ongoing concern for this property, with potential implications for resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 10956 S Indiana 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.
