Initial analysis

The 6-unit building at 8130 S Maryland Ave in Chatham, owned by Israel Ramos, is a 1928 structure that has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most notably, as of October 2023, there are four unresolved building code violations from August 2022 that stemmed from complaint-driven inspections. The property has had multiple open service requests in 2024 alone, including sanitation code violations, water quality testing (both a test kit request and a completed inspection related to lead testing), and an inspection of the public way. The building's record shows consistent maintenance issues, with a total of 25 building violations and 56 service requests filed under the owner's name over the past seven years, though only 5 building permits have been pulled during this period, suggesting limited permitted work has been conducted on the property. An environmental complaint was also recorded against the owner in the past seven years, further indicating potential concerns about the building's condition and environmental compliance.

Risk rating

How 8130 S Maryland 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

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
