Unlock complete reportThe six-unit residential building at 8228 S Maryland Ave in Chatham, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Shellpoint Mortgage Services, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, particularly in 2022. Notably, there are six open unresolved building code violations documented in May 2022 that stemmed from complaint-driven inspections, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The property has seen a total of six building violations and eight 311 service requests over the past seven years. More recently, in 2024 alone, there were multiple building violation reports (three in July), a water lead test request (June), and a general information call (July), all of which have been closed. The most recent service request was for a dead animal pick-up in August 2025. Given the number of code violations and service requests, particularly the open violations from 2022 and recent cluster of building-related complaints, the property appears to be experiencing ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that warrant attention.
How 8228 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
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.
Out of 1891 buildings in this neighborhood, 1494 are predicted to be safer.
