Initial analysis

The three-flat residential building at 10055 S Avenue M, located in Chicago's East Side neighborhood and owned by 10055 S AVENUE M LLC, has a relatively limited record of municipal interactions since 2016. Built in 1886, this property has experienced minimal documented issues in recent years, with only three 311 service requests and one building permit application on record during the past seven years. Notably, the most recent service requests include two active matters from late 2025 (a water lead test kit request) and September 2024 (a tree planting request), while a June 2024 city vehicle sticker violation has been resolved. The building's environmental compliance history shows a single air pollution complaint from September 2022, which was investigated the same day but resulted in no verified violations. The property's documented history suggests generally low levels of maintenance issues and service requests, though the open water lead test kit request may warrant attention to ensuring resident health and safety compliance standards are met.

Risk rating

How 10055 S Avenue M'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
