Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8056 S Carpenter St in Auburn Gresham, owned by John Moore, presents concerning recent activity that warrants attention. Most notably, on August 4, 2023, the property became subject to multiple unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations, with at least six violations recorded on that date alone, all of which remain open as of October 2023. These recent violations contribute to a total of 31 building code violations recorded over the past seven years. The building's maintenance history shows only one building permit issued during this period, suggesting limited authorized improvement work. The property has generated eight 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent being a fly dumping complaint in January 2026 and several sign repair requests in March 2025. While not directly related to building conditions, these service requests include infrastructure-related matters such as tree planting and sewer cleaning inspections, all of which have been resolved. The combination of recent open violations and historical code enforcement issues may indicate ongoing maintenance challenges at this property, though not all violations may necessarily impact resident safety or comfort directly.

Risk rating

How 8056 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
