Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 10828 S Prospect Ave in Morgan Park, constructed in 1926, has had a modest number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling 19. The most recent cluster of requests in 2026 has raised some concerns about property maintenance, with multiple garbage cart maintenance issues documented, including both an open request from June 2026 and a previously closed request from March 2026. The building's maintenance record shows attention to infrastructure needs, with an active request from January 2026 for the Shared Cost Sidewalk Program. The property owner has also engaged in proactive health safety measures, as evidenced by a closed water lead test kit request from August 2025. Additional infrastructure and beautification efforts are indicated by an open tree planting request from August 2025. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building, the frequency of recent maintenance issues, particularly regarding waste management, may warrant attention to ongoing property upkeep.

Risk rating

How 10828 S Prospect Ave 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

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.
