Initial analysis

The six-unit building at 8337 S Drexel Ave in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by CCF Real Estate Holding, has a mixed record dating back to its 1930 construction. The most significant concerns stem from a cluster of open building code violations dating back to October 2019, with six unresolved issues resulting from complaint-driven inspections that have remained outstanding for several years. While the building has had relatively few service requests over the past seven years (10 total), there have been multiple recent complaints about e-scooter parking in the vicinity, with six such complaints filed between August and November 2025, all of which have been closed. The property owner has two building permits on record from the past seven years and one house share violation, while the owner as a whole (including all three parcels) shows 62 building violations, 39 service requests, and 1 house share violation in the same period. An open tree debris clean-up request from June 2026 is the most recent service request on record, and there was a closed abandoned vehicle complaint from April 2026.

Risk rating

How 8337 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

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
16thpercentile
