Initial analysis

The four-unit, three-parcel property at 43 W 104th Place in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, owned by Ray Lockhart, has a century-old history dating back to 1913. The building's recent activity from 2025 is particularly noteworthy, with six building violation reports filed between August and October, including three plumbing violations and two general building violations, though most of these have been closed as of October 2025, with only one construction-related violation remaining open. Over the past seven years, the property has generated 21 service requests, with violations accounting for approximately 29% of these complaints. While the building's age and recent activity suggest some ongoing maintenance and code compliance challenges, it's important to note that the majority of the recent complaints have been promptly addressed through the typical city service closure process. The record shows a total of six building violations over the past seven years, though it's worth noting that this count may overlap with the multiple service requests filed in 2025.

Risk rating

How 43 W 104Th Pl'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.
