Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 10957 South Wentworth Avenue in the Roseland neighborhood, owned by Ralph Rutherford, has experienced notable activity over the past several years. Most significantly, in July 2023, the property underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six building code violations, all of which have been resolved according to city records. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, with a total of 22 building violations recorded over the past seven years, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the available data. There have also been 9 service requests filed through the city's 311 system in this period, with the most recent requests in 2026 related to weed removal and stray animal complaints. Prior 311 calls between 2025-2026 included two weed removal requests, two stray animal complaints, and two information-only calls, all of which were closed. An environmental complaint concerning hazardous materials was recorded in October 2003, though no subsequent actions or resolutions are noted in the available data. The building, constructed in 1915, has experienced various urban challenges typical of its age and location, though recent building code violations appear to have been promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 10957 S Wentworth 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
4thpercentile

Out of 1649 buildings in this neighborhood, 1583 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
