Initial analysis

The two-story residential building at 12056 South State Street in West Pullman, owned by Doreene Motley, was constructed in 1923 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most recently, in March 2024, the property underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six building code violations, though all of these violations have been promptly resolved. The building's service request history shows attention to maintenance matters, including two porch inspection requests in March and May 2024, and other municipal service interactions such as a garbage cart maintenance issue in January 2025 and a tree trimming request in December 2025. The property has an extensive record of building code violations over the past seven years, totaling 22 violations, though only one building permit has been recorded during this period. While the relatively recent resolution of multiple violations is a positive indicator, the building's history shows a pattern of requiring ongoing attention to maintenance and code compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 12056 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.
