Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 10305 S Avenue L in Chicago's East Side neighborhood, owned by J M Padilla, has a century-plus history dating back to 1903. The property's recent records from the past seven years show minimal issues, with only one building code violation recorded in August 2019, which was successfully resolved. The most significant recent activity on record has been related to tree management, with four service requests submitted through the 311 system between 2024 and 2025. These requests included two tree planting requests (both closed as of 2024) and two tree removal inspections filed in August 2025—one of which remains open while the other has been closed. The building's overall violation and service request record shows limited maintenance or compliance issues, with the tree management matters being the most prominent recent concern, though these primarily relate to external landscaping rather than building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 10305 S Avenue L'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
