Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8441 S Crandon Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood, owned by David Wilkerson, has been in existence since 1921. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 24 service requests through the 311 system. Notably, from May to June 2026, there has been an unusual cluster of tree-related incidents, with five emergency requests for tree services being submitted between May 8 and June 15, 2026. While two of these requests have been closed, one remains open, suggesting ongoing concerns related to tree maintenance or safety in the vicinity of the property. The concentration of tree-related service requests in this short timeframe, especially in the typically stable period of mid-spring to early summer, could indicate either an environmental issue affecting the trees or a specific incident requiring multiple reports. Beyond these recent tree-related matters, there are no recorded safety concerns or negative impact events on file for this relatively low-service request count, suggesting the building has maintained a standard operating condition over this period.

Risk rating

How 8441 S Crandon 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
75thpercentile
