Initial analysis

The 14-unit residential building at 8017 S Vernon in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, built in 1927 and currently owned by 5812 Properties, has experienced significant regulatory challenges over the past several years. The building has accumulated a substantial number of violations and service requests, with 23 building violations and 14 311 service requests specifically related to the building in the past seven years alone. More concerning are the recent developments from October 2025, where multiple open violations were recorded under the category of complaint-driven inspections, though these appear to be erroneously dated in the future relative to the current October 2023 dateline. The owner, 5812 Properties, has a notably high total of 678 building violations and 563 service requests across their 24 parcels in the city, suggesting systemic issues across multiple properties in their portfolio. While environmental complaints appear minimal with only one recorded instance of air pollution concerns in 1994, the frequency of building violations and service requests indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 8017 S Vernon 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
4thpercentile

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 1825 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
