This recent cluster of violations marks a significant departure from the building's historical record, which showed 19 total violations over the previous seven years. Between 2025 and early 2026, there were multiple service requests addressed, including diverse issues such as nuisance animals, street potholes, weed removal, tree debris cleanup, and a no-water complaint, though all these earlier matters have been closed.

How 11201 S Aberdeen St's risk score is calculated

What the score means for you

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
