Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 10443 S. Racine Ave in Washington Heights, owned by Marilyn McBride, has been standing since 1913 and has generated 10 city service requests over the past seven years. The most recent and pressing issues involve multiple tree-related situations, with emergency responses recorded in March 2026 and an ongoing tree removal inspection also initiated in March 2026. The property has also seen attention to public infrastructure, with an active shared cost sidewalk program request submitted in January 2026, suggesting prior infrastructure improvements or maintenance needs. Other service requests have included an e-scooter parking complaint in March 2026 and a resolved garbage cart maintenance issue from July 2025. While the building has had regular interaction with city services, most issues appear to be environmental or infrastructure-related rather than structural or safety concerns directly related to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 10443 S Racine 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
