Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 11740 S Wallace St in the West Pullman neighborhood, owned by Sheila Martin, has been standing since 1908 and has experienced a number of notable events over the past several years. Most concerning are two open violation cases from a complaint-driven inspection in May 2021 that remain unresolved. The property has generated a total of 18 service requests from the owner between 2018 and 2025, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring in 2025 involving multiple tree-related issues and animal control matters. Specifically, there were three service requests related to tree trimming or emergency responses, and three complaints regarding animal-related incidents, including two complaints specifically about vicious animals. Prior to these, in late 2024, there was another vicious animal complaint, suggesting an ongoing concern with animal-related incidents in the vicinity. The building's permit history shows only one building permit filed in the past seven years, though this should not necessarily imply any specific building condition. While the property has had a number of service requests logged, most have been resolved, with the exception of the two unresolved violations from 2021 and one open tree emergency from 2025.

Risk rating

How 11740 S Wallace 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
