Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 23 W 109th Place in Roseland, owned by Sonak Electric Inc, has experienced a significant number of issues over the past several years, particularly in 2024-2025. Most notably, there are currently six open building code violations from March 2025 that were initiated through complaint-driven inspections, suggesting ongoing concerns that have not yet been resolved. In addition to these building code issues, there have been multiple plumbing violations reported in early 2025 (February and January), a sewer cave-in inspection request in March 2025, and a tree debris clean-up request in December 2024, all of which have been closed. The building's historical record shows consistent maintenance and service request activity, with 18 building violations and 13 service requests documented over the past seven years, though all previous violations have been resolved. The property has a long history, dating back to 1908, and its record includes a single environmental complaint from 2009 regarding illegal dumping, which was addressed through a work order. The building is located on two parcels of land, though both parcels are under the same ownership.

Risk rating

How 23 W 109Th 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
4thpercentile
