Initial analysis

The two-parcel property at 12424 S Stewart Avenue in Chicago's West Pullman neighborhood is a 1956 construction currently owned by Lawrence Charl Thomas. The building's service request history over the past seven years reveals a relatively minimal pattern of issues, with nine requests associated directly with the building and a total of 24 requests linked to the owner across both parcels. Most notably, in June 2026, there were two tree-related service requests - one classified as a tree emergency that remains open, and another for tree debris clean-up that has been resolved. The property has experienced several public way-related issues in 2024, including two abandoned vehicle complaints (May 16 and June 22) and a sidewalk inspection request (October 4), all of which were successfully closed. Additionally, there was a public way inspection request in late May 2024 that was also resolved. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a seven-year period, the open tree emergency incident as of June 2026 warrants attention as the most recent and potentially ongoing issue on record.

Risk rating

How 12424 S Stewart 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
