Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8439 W Brodman Ave in the O'Hare neighborhood is a single-parcel property owned by Leonard Lanzito Sr., with records indicating it was constructed in 1977. The building's documented service history over the past seven years shows remarkably low activity, with only one 311 service request recorded during this period. This solitary service request, filed on November 7, 2024, concerned garbage cart maintenance through the Alderman's office and has since been closed. Given the typical maintenance and service requirements of residential buildings, the notably minimal number of service requests could suggest either excellent property management or potentially underreported issues, though the 311 reporting system primarily captures certain types of municipal service needs rather than all property concerns.

Risk rating

How 8439 W Brodman 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

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.
