Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 11332 South Champlain Avenue in the Pullman neighborhood, owned by James Meekma, has a significant number of recorded issues over the past several years. Built in 1886, this property has generated 21 building code violations and 29 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years. Most concerning are the cluster of unresolved complaint-driven inspections, with four such violations recorded on October 3, 2025, and two others from August 17, 2022, that remain open as of October 2023. The building's recent service request history from 2025 alone shows multiple issues, including rodent problems, sanitation violations, fly dumping, stray animals, weed concerns, and at least one building violation, though these specific complaints were subsequently closed. Looking further back in history, there was an environmental complaint regarding toxic hazardous materials in September 2008, indicating past concerns about hazardous materials on the property. The current open building violations and relatively high number of service requests suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and environmental management, though it's important to note that not all 311 service requests necessarily relate to the building's condition itself.

Risk rating

How 11332 S Champlain 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
2ndpercentile

Out of 236 buildings in this neighborhood, 231 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
