Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 8141 S Evans Ave in the Chatham neighborhood is a 1925 construction currently owned by Edward Brimmer Jr Trust. The property has a concerning number of open violations from September 2023, with six unresolved issues noted under the category of complaint-driven inspections, which appears to be the building's most significant and pressing concern. While the building has maintained an average number of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of three 311 service requests on record, the pattern of recent activity suggests potential ongoing safety and maintenance concerns. The property underwent several inspection-related activities between 2024-2025, including two lead-related investigations (both water lead testing and lead inspection requests) and a leak check request, all of which have been appropriately closed. The persistence of the six open violations from September 2023, combined with the historical focus on lead and water-related issues, suggests that residents should be mindful of potential environmental and safety considerations while more recent maintenance needs appear to be receiving attention through the city's inspection and service request processes.

How 8141 S Evans Ave'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.
Out of 1891 buildings in this neighborhood, 1418 are predicted to be safer.
