Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8048 S Carpenter St in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood was constructed in 2006 and is currently owned by Darren Dumas. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a cluster of unresolved building code violations as of August 2024, which should be monitored closely. Between 2016 and 2023, the building accumulated a total of nine building code violations and 13 service requests through 311, though not all of these issues appear to be directly related to the building's condition. The most recent service requests from March 2025 included rodent baiting/rat complaints and sanitation code violations, while earlier requests in February 2025 also documented building violations.

Risk rating

How 8048 S Carpenter St'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
