AI summary

The 19-unit residential building at 8337 S Rhodes in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Suburban Bank & Trust, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most significantly, there are multiple unresolved building code violations from a July 2021 periodic routine inspection, as well as an unresolved complaint-driven inspection from November 2020. While the property has shown recent compliance with two building code violations as of October 2023, the presence of these unresolved issues warrants attention. The building's service request history over the past seven years includes a total of 11 building violations and 7 311 service requests, with the most recent activity showing three sanitation code violations (two in 2024 and one in late 2025), though all these service requests have been closed. The frequency of building code violations and sanitation-related issues suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and compliance, though it's worth noting that some recent complaints have been resolved. The building has also had three building permits issued in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 8337 S Rhodes 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

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.
