Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 10955 S Vernon Ave in Roseland, owned by Mrs. Emil Ousley, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The property, constructed in 1967, underwent a significant cluster of complaint-driven inspections in April 2024, resulting in six violations, though records indicate that all of these issues were promptly resolved. The building's documented history includes a single 311 service request filed in 2026 regarding a building violation, which remains open as of the current date. While the total count of building violations on record is 14, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, the most recent cluster of resolved violations suggests that the property has demonstrated responsiveness to code enforcement actions.

Risk rating

How 10955 S Vernon 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.
