Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8210 S Manistee Ave, located in Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood, was built in 1927 and is currently owned by Ashley Noel Townsend. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively few serious issues, with only two building violations recorded, one of which was resolved in October 2021 while another remains unresolved from September 2021. The property has generated a total of 14 service requests through the 311 system during this period. A notable cluster of these requests occurred in late 2025, with six tree debris clean-up requests submitted between September and October of that year, though five of these were successfully resolved. The most recent service requests on record, from June 2026, include an open complaint regarding an abandoned vehicle and another tree debris clean-up request, both of which remain unresolved as of the current date. While the building itself shows limited violations, the surrounding area has experienced recurring issues with tree debris that required multiple clean-up interventions.

Risk rating

How 8210 S Manistee 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
