Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 10718 S Vernon Ave in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, owned by Chenesha Heard, has a documented history spanning several years since its construction in 1929. The property currently has an open cluster of six complaint-driven inspection violations from February 2024 that remain unresolved, representing the most significant and recent concerns regarding the building's condition. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of 11 building violations and 15 311 service requests, indicating a pattern of regulatory and maintenance issues. The service requests include two tree debris clean-up requests (June 2026), an information request (January 2026), an open request for the Shared Cost Sidewalk Program (January 2026), and two one-way sign repair requests (December 2025), all of which were primarily related to street and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific issues. The property has recorded three building permits in the same seven-year period, though the specific nature and scope of these permits are not detailed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 10718 S Vernon 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.
