Initial analysis

The property at 10422 S Emerald Ave in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood is a 1941 building currently owned by Jerry L Rodgers. The building's recent history raises some concerns, particularly focusing on four open building code violations since August 19, 2020, which were initiated through complaint-driven inspections and remain unresolved as of the most current data. The property has generated multiple service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent dates clustering around garbage cart maintenance issues in 2025 and 2026. These requests include three separate instances of garbage cart maintenance (two of which have been resolved), a blue recycling cart request (resolved), and a street light out complaint (resolved) in late 2025. Looking further back, there was an environmental complaint regarding air pollution in July 1994, though this is now significantly dated in comparison to more recent issues. The clustering of unresolved building code violations from 2020 and repeated waste management service requests suggest ongoing maintenance and waste management challenges at the property, though the relatively recent nature of these issues is notable.

Risk rating

How 10422 S Emerald 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
