Roseland, Chicago IL 60628 25222010180000 6 units · 1920

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 11216 S Vernon Ave in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, owned by Billy Dumas, has a relatively sparse record of municipal service requests over the past seven years, with only two documented incidents. The most recent service request, submitted in February 2026, was regarding an out street light, though this appears to be an error as the current date is October 2023 and this request would be in the future. Prior to that, in March 2024, there was a tree trimming request submitted through the 311 system, though this type of request is no longer being accepted. The building, constructed in 1920, maintains a low service request record, with only these two documented interactions with city services over the examined period, which suggests minimal reported maintenance issues requiring municipal attention.

Risk rating

How 11216 S Vernon 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
26thpercentile

Out of 1649 buildings in this neighborhood, 1220 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
