Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The property at 1266 S Blue Island is a 6-unit residential building constructed in 2006, located in the Little Italy/UIC neighborhood and currently owned by RS I LP. The building's recent service history from 2024 to mid-2025 shows relatively minor maintenance issues, including requests for graffiti removal, street light repairs, tree debris clean-up, garbage cart maintenance, wire basket installation, and sign repairs, all of which have been promptly addressed and closed. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of 213 service requests, though the nature and frequency of these requests suggest they are primarily routine maintenance and neighborhood upkeep issues rather than serious building concerns. The property has received 6 building violations in the same period, and while specific details of these violations are not provided, it is worth noting that the building was constructed relatively recently (in 2006) compared to typical Chicago structures. The owner has also obtained 29 building permits in the past seven years, indicating regular maintenance and improvements to the property, while the most recent entered permits show closure on various maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 1266 S Blue Island'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
43rdpercentile
