Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8233 S May Street in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood is a 1921 structure currently owned by V. Sterling L. Coney. Over the past seven years, there has been an exceptionally low volume of service requests associated with both the property and its owner, with only one recorded 311 service request in this period. This request, made on June 12, 2025, pertains to a tree planting initiative through the Streets and Sanitation department, and is currently listed as open. The historical record shows minimal interaction with city services, though it's worth noting that the most recent documented request relates to a voluntary beautification project rather than a property maintenance issue, suggesting that the building may be well-maintained with no significant safety or resident experience concerns currently on record.

Risk rating

How 8233 S May 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.
