AI summary

The 10-unit residential building at 8235 S Maryland in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood was constructed in 1927 and is currently owned by SGT. The building's record over the past seven years shows a total of 20 building violations and 21 service requests made through 311, though only two of these service requests are from the last two years. These recent service requests included an abandoned vehicle complaint and a street pothole issue, neither of which directly relates to the building's maintenance or resident experience. The property has undergone limited permitted work during this period, with only six building permits recorded. While historical data may not fully capture the current state of the building, the available records suggest a pattern of building violations that warrants attention, though the relatively low number of 311 service requests directly related to the building itself could indicate these violations are being addressed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 8235 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1891 buildings in this neighborhood, 1645 are predicted to be safer.
