AI summary

The 6-unit, 1961 building at 8225 S King Dr 1W in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Sandra H Reddick, has experienced several maintenance and public safety issues over the past seven years, according to 311 service requests. Most notably, there have been recurring concerns with the sewer system, with both a sewer cleaning inspection request (April 2024) and a sewer cave-in inspection request (November 2025) logged in the past two years, though the former was resolved while the latter remains open. The property has also had two separate reports of abandoned vehicles in June 2024, both of which were successfully addressed. The most recent concern, logged in November 2025, is a sidewalk inspection request that is currently open. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a six-unit building over this period, the recurring issues with the sewer system and the currently open sidewalk inspection are worth noting for their potential impact on resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 8225 S King Dr 1W'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.
