Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 11748 S Union Ave in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, owned by B K T PROP LLC, was constructed in 1901 and has experienced several notable incidents over its recent history. Most concerning are three unresolved building code violations from April 2022, all of which were initiated through complaint-driven inspections. While the volume of 311 service requests over the past seven years totals 33, many are routine in nature, including multiple tree-related incidents and animal-related complaints. Notably, there were two tree emergency situations in June 2026, a vicious animal complaint in May 2026, and a nuisance animal complaint in March 2026. The building's total 311 service record also includes a public way inspection request in February 2026 and tree debris clean-up in December 2025. Looking further back, there was an environmental complaint about illegal dumping recorded in September 1995, for which a work order was issued. The relatively high number of animal-related complaints and unresolved building code violations, particularly the recent ones from 2022, warrant attention, though it's worth noting that many of the recent service requests have been resolved promptly, as indicated by their "Closed" status.

Risk rating

How 11748 S Union 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

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
22ndpercentile
