Initial analysis

The three-story, 14-unit residential building at 11354 S Forest in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, owned by Sleeping Bear Pullman, has been in operation since 1926 and has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years. Most concerning is an open unresolved periodic routine inspection conducted on October 8, 2025, which appears to indicate ongoing compliance concerns within the building. Prior to this, in September 2025, there were two 311 service requests related to building violations and plumbing issues, both of which have since been closed. The building's violation history over the past seven years shows a total of three building code violations, though it's notable that these and all other documented service requests (totaling four for the owner) have occurred relatively recently, suggesting that there may be evolving maintenance or compliance challenges within the property. While the building's unit count and ownership structure (totaling two parcels) are standard for the area, the concentration of recent violations and service requests warrants attention to the current state of the property's maintenance and regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 11354 S Forest Chicago'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
3rdpercentile

Out of 1649 buildings in this neighborhood, 1600 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
