East Side, Chicago IL 60617 26083040170000 8 units · 1970

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 10255 S Ewing in Chicago's East Side neighborhood, constructed in 1970 and currently owned by 10259 S Ewing Corp, has generated a modest number of city service requests over the past seven years, totaling 13 incidents. The most recent activity includes a series of complaints and inspections in 2026, with three notable building violations recorded in March and September of 2026, and an ongoing sidewalk inspection request filed in January 2026. Other recent incidents include a vicious animal complaint in May 2026 and a leak check request in early May 2026, both of which have been closed. The building's service request history also shows some unrelated neighborhood issues, such as an abandoned vehicle complaint in December 2025. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for an 8-unit building over seven years, the presence of multiple building violations in 2026 and an open sidewalk inspection request warrant attention to current property conditions.

Risk rating

How 10255 S Ewing Chicago'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
11thpercentile

Out of 953 buildings in this neighborhood, 848 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
