AI summary

The two-story building at 11038 S Avenue F in Chicago's East Side neighborhood, owned by Martin Ramos Jr., was constructed in 1966 and has exhibited some notable patterns in its maintenance and service requests over recent years. The property's record shows two building code violations in 2022 related to permit inspections, one of which remains unresolved as of the latest data update. The building's service request history from 2024 to 2026 reveals ongoing concerns with waste management, as evidenced by multiple yard waste and garbage cart maintenance requests, with three of these still open as of mid-2026. Other municipal service requests include a recently closed street light outage complaint from April 2026 and a parking code enforcement review from December 2025. While the total number of service requests (19) and violations (2) over the past seven years is relatively limited, the presence of multiple unresolved service requests related to waste management and the lingering permit inspection violation warrant attention to the building's maintenance responsiveness.

Risk rating

How 11038 S Avenue F'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.
