Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 8114 S Sangamon St in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, owned by Margurite Barlow and constructed in 1919, has had minimal recorded activity over the past seven years. The property has only one building permit on record for this period, suggesting limited structural or major maintenance work. In terms of service requests, there have been seven incidents reported through the 311 system, with the most recent occurring on January 2, 2026, regarding an abandoned vehicle. The other documented service requests primarily relate to urban wildlife and landscaping issues, including four dead animal pick-up requests (two from September 2024), two abandoned vehicle complaints (January 2026 and January 2025), and one tree removal inspection and emergency (both from July 2024). While these service requests demonstrate some maintenance and environmental challenges in the vicinity, there are no recorded incidents that would directly impact resident safety or building integrity. The limited number of service requests and permits over this period could suggest stable building conditions, though it's important to note that not all maintenance issues may be captured in the public record.

Risk rating

How 8114 S Sangamon 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
84thpercentile
