Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 8211 S Marshfield Ave I in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood has experienced significant and ongoing maintenance challenges since 2023. Most notably, there are currently four unresolved building code violations as of October 2025, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections. While the building has a total of 19 building violations on record over the past seven years, as well as one building permit issued during this period, the recent cluster of code violations indicates persistent compliance issues. The property has also faced recurring pest control challenges, with three rodent-related service requests recorded between July 2025 and March 2026, one of which was filed through the alderman's office. Additional concerns include a sanitation code violation and a garbage cart maintenance issue, though these service requests have since been closed. A brief period of resolved complaints is noted in February 2023, when two code violations were complied with, but the resolution appears to have been temporary given the subsequent violations. The building's ownership structure is maintained under 8211 S MARSHFIELD INC, with records showing one total parcel associated with this entity.

How 8211 S Marshfield Ave I'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
