Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 10144 S Ewing Avenue in Chicago's East Side neighborhood, owned by Andres Jimenez, has a documented history dating back to its 1906 construction. Over the past seven years, the property has accumulated three building code violations, all stemming from periodic routine inspections conducted on March 19, 2020, which remain open and unresolved as of October 2023. In addition to these violations, there have been two 311 service requests in recent history: a closed graffiti removal request from April 2026 and a closed request for a blue recycling cart from March 2026. Notably, there is a historical environmental complaint on record from March 1995 regarding air pollution, though this matter appears to predate the current owner's tenure by many years. While the building has no documented history of major safety incidents or recent health-related complaints, the unresolved nature of the 2020 routine inspection violations warrants attention as the most significant current building issue.

Risk rating

How 10144 S Ewing 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
