Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8512 W Argyle St in the O'Hare neighborhood is a two-story property constructed in 1968 and currently owned by Tadeusz Gubala. The building's recent service history from the past year has primarily focused on waste management infrastructure, with three documented 311 service requests between August and September 2024, all pertaining to garbage and recycling cart maintenance issues. Specifically, two requests were made on August 12, 2024 - one for garbage cart maintenance and another concerning the blue recycling cart - followed by a third request for garbage cart maintenance on September 9, 2024. All of these service requests have been marked as closed, suggesting they were addressed by the relevant authorities. The property's overall service request history is relatively minimal, with only three total service requests recorded over the past seven years, indicating either limited maintenance issues or potentially underutilization of the 311 reporting system.

Risk rating

How 8512 W Argyle St 1'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.
