Chatham, Chicago IL 60619 20342240160000 6 units · 1967

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 six-unit residential building at 8239 S King Dr 2E in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by CHGO LAND TITLE TRUST, was constructed in 1967 and has a relatively minimal service request history over the past seven years. Between 2024 and 2025, there have been four documented 311 service requests associated with the property, all of which have been resolved and marked as closed. The most recent request, made in May 2025, concerned tree debris clean-up, while the previous December request involved rodent baiting in response to a rat complaint. Earlier in the same year, there were two other requests - one for street cleaning in November and a 311 information-only call in April. While the property has had some maintenance and neighborhood-related service calls, the overall frequency of issues appears to be low, with only three distinct service needs over the past two years, all of which were addressed through normal city service channels.

Risk rating

How 8239 S King Dr 2E'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
94thpercentile

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 114 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
