Initial analysis

The 21-unit residential building at 8200 S Maryland in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Limestone Group LLC, has experienced a concerning series of unresolved issues in recent months. Of particular note are multiple open violations as of November 2025, all categorized as complaint-driven inspections, with the same pattern continuing into mid-2026 with several plumbing-related service requests still showing as open. The property, which dates back to 1926, has a significant history of building violations and service requests, with records showing 92 total violations and 101 service requests over the past seven years. While the building has received seven permits during this period, two of these were classified as "scofflaw violations," indicating a pattern of non-compliance. The recent cluster of plumbing violations reported between June 8-15, 2026, along with other service requests, suggests ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges within the building. Prior to these recent developments, the building's historical violation and service request data indicates a generally problematic pattern of maintenance issues requiring city intervention. Two other unrelated service requests were recorded during this period - a stray animal complaint that was closed and a general information call which was not a violation-related matter.

Risk rating

How 8200 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
