Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 253 W 113th Street in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, owned by Mylon Walker III, has a relatively minimal record over the past seven years. The three-story structure, built in 1903, has only one documented building code violation during this period, which was resolved by October 2022 and pertained to a permit-related inspection. The property has generated a total of four Service Requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with these interactions primarily focused on animal-related issues. These requests included two nuisance animal complaints in 2025 (both resolved), one injured animal report in 2024 (resolved), and, confusingly, one fly dumping complaint in 2026, though this incident seems to be set in the future relative to the current date. The owner has held two total parcels under their name and has obtained one building permit in the past seven years. While the building's violation and complaint history does not reveal any major safety concerns or pattern of issues, the concentration of animal-related incidents over multiple years is noteworthy.

Risk rating

How 253 W 113Th St'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
32ndpercentile

Out of 1649 buildings in this neighborhood, 1121 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
