Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1928 brick building at 8026 S Wolcott Ave in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, owned by Terrance Brown, has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only one building code violation and two 311 service requests. The sole building code violation, related to permit-related inspection issues, occurred in March 2020 but has been resolved. The property has experienced two service-related incidents in 2024, both of which have been closed: a fly dumping complaint in August and a garbage cart maintenance issue in May. While these service requests indicate some challenges with property maintenance in 2024, they appear to be typical urban issues rather than significant safety concerns. The building's overall record suggests regular ownership oversight, as evidenced by the resolution of both the building violation and the service requests.

Risk rating

How 8026 S Wolcott Ave 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

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
29thpercentile

Out of 2843 buildings in this neighborhood, 2019 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
