Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 10842 S Eberhart Ave in the Roseland neighborhood, owned by Ernest T Jones, has a documented history spanning several decades, with particular attention to recent developments. Built in 1927, the property has accumulated 18 building violations over the past seven years, with a concerning pattern emerging in early 2025 where four complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded, including two that remain unresolved as of October 2023. The building's maintenance and compliance record shows occasional attention to issues, as evidenced by the resolution of several previous violations, including those noted in November 2024. The property has generated five 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent being focused on tree-related issues, including debris clean-up and emergency responses in August and September 2025. Prior to these, there was a building violation complaint in October 2024 that was subsequently closed. An environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping dates back to April 2005, though this is considerably older than the other documented issues. The building's permit history is minimal, showing only one permit filed in the past seven years, which raises questions about any potentially required maintenance or improvements during this period.

Risk rating

How 10842 S Eberhart 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.
