Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 31 W 109th Street in Roseland, currently owned by Tramane Bracy, has experienced several concerning issues over the past two years. Most notably, there are three unresolved building code violations as of January 2025 that were triggered by complaint-driven inspections, representing the most significant current concerns about the property's condition and compliance with building codes. The property has a documented history of water-related problems, including a water-in-basement complaint in August 2025 and a no-water complaint in January 2026, suggesting potential issues with the building's plumbing or drainage systems. The recent service request history also indicates problems with local wildlife, including two dead animal pick-up requests (September 2025 and June 2024) and a vicious animal complaint (June 2024), though these are not directly related to the building's condition. The property has experienced a combination of complaints related to basic utilities and infrastructure maintenance, with all six 311 service requests from the past seven years having been resolved, except for the most recent water issue from January 2026.

Risk rating

How 31 W 109Th St'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.
