Initial analysis

The property at 8101 S Calumet in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood is a 12-unit building constructed in 1927, currently owned by 81CALUMET LLC. The building has experienced ongoing issues with code compliance, as evidenced by four unresolved building code violations that have been filed since late 2019, with the most recent violations recorded in January 2025. While two violations from June 2019 were resolved, the persistence of open violations continues to be a concern. The property has generated multiple service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, totaling 11 requests. Recent activity from 2025 includes six service requests, primarily related to sanitation issues and tree-related matters, all of which have been marked as closed. Notably, there was one valid construction and demolition complaint in 2021 that was resolved in April of that year.

Risk rating

How 8101 S Calumet 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
7thpercentile

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 1768 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.
