Initial analysis

The property at 8522 S Bennett Ave in the Avalon Park neighborhood is a three-unit residential building owned by Shaun Fedrick, dating back to 1928. The building's recent history shows a cluster of building code violations in December 2022, with six complaint-driven inspections conducted that month, though all were promptly resolved by the owner. These inspections represent the only recorded building code violations in the past seven years. Looking at service requests, there have been two notable instances: a plumbing violation reported in April 2026 that remains open as of October 2023, and a successfully addressed garbage cart maintenance issue from September 2025. While the building had a relatively high number of violations in 2022, it's worth noting that all were resolved. The open plumbing violation from 2026 and the building's age may warrant attention, though the property has shown responsiveness to most maintenance issues in recent years.

Risk rating

How 8522 S Bennett 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
