Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 1924 Chicago building at 8259 S Elizabeth in Auburn Gresham, currently owned by PP P14 1 LLC, presents several concerning issues as of October 2023. Most notably, there are four unresolved complaint-driven building code violations from January 2025, marking a significant lapse in building maintenance and safety compliance. The property has experienced a total of 22 building violations and 65 service requests over the past seven years, with the owner maintaining five parcels in total. Recent municipal service requests from 2025-2026 include multiple tree debris clean-up requests (two of which were closed), as well as requests for yard waste pick-up, and recycling services, suggesting ongoing challenges with property maintenance and waste management. An abandoned vehicle complaint remains unresolved as of June 2026, though it pertains more to street conditions than building management. The only building permit recorded in the past seven years was issued in 2015, which could indicate either minimal improvements or potentially problematic maintenance practices, given the number of violations on record.

Risk rating

How 8259 S Elizabeth 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.

Neighborhood percentile
8thpercentile
