Initial analysis

The 15-unit building at 8141 S Maryland in Chatham, owned by Community Invest Corp, has been subject to significant regulatory scrutiny over the past seven years, particularly in 2026 when seven periodic routine inspection violations were recorded as open and unresolved. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of building violations, with 49 total violations attributed to the owner, suggesting persistent maintenance and compliance issues. Between 2025 and 2026, there were multiple 311 service requests related to building violations, including three documented violations in July 2025 alone, with the most recent service request for a building violation recorded in March 2026, though this was subsequently closed. The property has had minimal permitted work in recent years, with only two permits issued in the past seven years, and a total of 8 permits issued under the owner's name across four parcels. An environmental complaint regarding construction and demolition activities was filed in 2020 but was resolved with no violations found. Given the significant number of open building violations and the pattern of complaints over recent years, the property's maintenance and compliance history warrants careful consideration.

Risk rating

How 8141 S Maryland 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

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
4thpercentile

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 1825 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
