Unlock complete reportThe 24-unit apartment building at 8241 S Ellis in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, managed by PP P22 2 LLC, has experienced ongoing regulatory scrutiny and maintenance challenges since at least 2023. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved building code violations from May 2024 related to periodic routine inspections, two complaint-driven inspection violations from December 2025, and one complaint-driven violation from February 2023. The property has also recorded multiple plumbing-related issues, with four 311 service requests specifically addressing plumbing violations between 2024 and 2025, three of which have been closed while one remains open as of December 2025. The building's overall maintenance record shows 10 building violations and 4 service requests in the past seven years, though the owner, PP P22 2 LLC, has a significantly higher total of 158 building violations and 85 service requests across its 10 properties during the same period. While there have been six building permits issued under the owner's name in the past seven years, the persistence of unresolved violations and the pattern of plumbing-related issues suggest ongoing infrastructure and maintenance concerns.

How 8241 S Ellis 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

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 1844 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
