Initial analysis

The 18-unit residential building at 8155 S Marshfield in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, owned by 6209 Michigan LLC, has a documented history of concerns over the past seven years, with particular attention warranted to recent developments. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved building code violations as of March 2025, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, evidenced by multiple 311 service requests in 2025, with four plumbing-related complaints filed between June and September of that year alone, including checks for leaks and plumbing violations. Additionally, there was one general building violation reported in March 2025, and a stray animal complaint in October 2024, both of which have been resolved. The building's overall record shows a total of 33 building violations and 18 service requests over the seven-year period, with three building permits issued in this timeframe. Given the pattern of plumbing-related issues and the recent cluster of violations and service requests, there appears to be an ongoing challenge with building maintenance that should be monitored closely.

Risk rating

How 8155 S Marshfield Chicago'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.
