Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 1926 building at 11909 S State St in West Pullman, currently owned by Paytons Enterprises LLC, has experienced some notable issues in recent times. Most significantly, five unresolved complaint-driven building code violations were recorded in October 2024, representing both the most recent and most concerning outstanding issues on the building's record. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests over the past several years, with the most recent being a garbage cart maintenance request from June 2026 that remains open. Other service requests from 2026 show a mix of resolved and unresolved issues, including weed removal (closed), tree trimming (closed), a street pothole complaint (closed), and a resolved vicious animal complaint. An additional street light outage complaint from December 2024 was also resolved. While the building has maintained an active response to various municipal service requests, the concentration of unresolved code violations from October 2024 warrants particular attention as the most pressing current concern.

Risk rating

How 11909 S State 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
18thpercentile
