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 four-unit residential building at 8010 S Phillips Ave 2 in the South Chicago neighborhood, owned by Ponte Foster, has been in operation since 1926. The property has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years, with the most pressing current concern being an open building permit and construction violation complaint filed in August 2024. This period has also seen a sanitation code violation (June 2024) and two other service requests: one related to public way inspection (August 2024) and an older building violation (January 2026), though the latter's timeline seems inconsistent with the seven-year data period. Over this period, the building has required two building permits and received four 311 service requests, indicating some regulatory and maintenance oversight challenges. While the historical data doesn't provide a comprehensive overview of the property's condition, the presence of multiple recent violations suggests close monitoring of the building's compliance with city codes may be warranted.

Risk rating

How 8010 S Phillips Ave 2'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
