Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8034 S Laflin St in Auburn Gresham, owned by DACS LLC SERIES 213, has an established history dating back to its 1920 construction. The most significant and concerning aspect of the building's recent history is the presence of three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations, all dating from November 14, 2019, which remain officially open as of October 2023. These violations represent the only building code infractions recorded for this property in the past seven years. In terms of municipal service interactions, the building has had four 311 service requests during this period, including two separate missed garbage pick-up complaints in January 2025 (both of which have been resolved), a tree trimming request from March 2026 (since closed), and a tree planting request from April 2024 (also closed). The building's permit history shows two permits issued in the past seven years, though specific details about these permits are not provided in the available data. While the tree-related requests suggest attention to landscaping maintenance, the unresolved violations from late 2019 represent the most pressing outstanding issue on the building's record.

Risk rating

How 8034 S Laflin St 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

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.
