8000 S Saint Lawrence Chicago

Chatham, Chicago IL 60619 20342110170000 9 units · 1925

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 9-unit, 1925 residential building located at 8000 S Saint Lawrence in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, currently owned by Acharrium LLC, has experienced a relatively low volume of service requests and building permits over the past seven years. The property has recorded a total of nine 311 service requests during this period, with the most notable cluster of incidents occurring in early 2025, when three separate vicious animal complaints were filed within a matter of days, suggesting a temporary but concerning safety issue in the vicinity. Other documented service requests include a dead animal removal in October 2025, snow removal in January 2026, and a street pothole complaint in May 2026, all of which have been resolved according to city records.

Risk rating

How 8000 S Saint Lawrence 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
17thpercentile

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 1578 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
