Initial analysis

The 11745 S Union Ave property is a two-unit building located in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood, constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Terry Faulkner. The building has experienced multiple concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant being seven unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations documented on November 4, 2022. These open violations represent an ongoing compliance concern. Additionally, there have been five 311 service requests over the past seven years, including three related to vacant/abandoned building complaints between 2024 and 2025, suggesting persistent concerns about the building's occupancy status. The property has also faced sanitation issues, as evidenced by a sanitation code violation in April 2024, and a garbage cart maintenance issue in July 2024. The building's record shows only one building permit issued in the past seven years, which may indicate limited recent improvements or modifications to the structure. While the property has a relatively small number of overall violations and service requests compared to some other buildings, the combination of open violations, vacant building complaints, and sanitation issues raises several concerning patterns regarding the building's maintenance and occupancy status.

Risk rating

How 11745 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
