Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 242 W 108th Place in Roseland, owned by Rufus Hunt, was constructed in 1927 and has experienced a total of 26 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years. The most recent activity on record includes an open sewer cleaning inspection request from April 2026, which marks the fourth such request in the past 18 months, suggesting possible ongoing concerns with the property's sewer system. Other notable service requests include a closed garbage cart maintenance issue (April 2026) and a resolved alley light out complaint (November 2025). Of particular concern was a vacant/abandoned building complaint recorded in May 2025, though this was subsequently closed. The building's service request history indicates an ongoing pattern of infrastructure-related issues, particularly with sewer systems, though most recent requests have been addressed and closed by the relevant authorities, with the exception of the current open sewer cleaning inspection request.

Risk rating

How 242 W 108Th Pl 1'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
