Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 8222 S Drexel Ave in the Chatham neighborhood, owned by S SHORE LLC SERIES 10, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2025. The property, constructed in 1928, has generated 16 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, with a particularly concentrated period of sanitation-related issues in 2025. This includes three instances of sanitation code violations, two fly dumping complaints, and a dead animal pickup request within the same year, suggesting ongoing challenges with waste management in the vicinity. The building's maintenance record shows minimal permitting activity, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, though the owner appears to hold two parcels related to this address. While several service requests from 2025-2026 were resolved, including two tree trim requests in July 2025, the pattern of sanitation-related complaints raises concerns about the property's external maintenance environment, particularly during the summer of 2025 when multiple service requests were logged.

Risk rating

How 8222 S Drexel 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.
