AI summary

The two-unit building at 920 South Oakley Avenue, located in the Little Italy/UIC neighborhood, is an 1883 construction owned by Sofia R Jones. The property's official record reveals limited recent activity over the past seven years, with only one building permit issued and nine service requests filed through the city's 311 system. The majority of these service requests occurred in 2025, with six of the nine requests being logged between April and August of that year. These included two yard waste pick-up requests, a water lead test kit request, an information-only call to 311 services, and a now-obsolete tree trim request. Additionally, there was one public way inspection request related to health that was initiated in May 2026 and subsequently closed. The documented service requests primarily pertain to routine maintenance and public services rather than any urgent or safety-related concerns, though the water lead test kit request is notable as it pertains to potential water quality issues.

Risk rating

How 920 S Oakley Ave 2'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.
