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 two-unit residential building at 10455 S Cottage Grove Ave in Chicago's Pullman neighborhood is a century-old property built in 1910, currently owned by Mark L. Payne. Over the past seven years, the property has generated 13 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activity taking place in 2026. The majority of these service requests have been for external-related issues, including three reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity (March 2025, March 2026, and December 2024), two complaints about street light outages (January 2025), and a request for a blue recycling cart (April 2026). All recorded service requests have been resolved and marked as closed. While the building's service request history shows regular engagement with city services, most issues appear to be related to street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems, with no reported issues directly impacting the property's residential units.

Risk rating

How 10455 S Cottage Grove 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

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
