AI summary

This three-unit residential building at 8015 S Escanaba Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood, owned by Ernest Martin, has a recorded history dating back to its construction in 1924. Over the past seven years, there have been three documented 311 service requests associated with the property. The most recent incident, from October 2025, concerned garbage cart maintenance and has since been resolved. Prior to this, there was a water-related issue in the basement reported in October 2024, which also reached a closed status. Earlier in 2024, there was a tree planting request submitted and completed. While the building's documented service requests have all been resolved, the occurrence of two maintenance-related issues (water in the basement and garbage cart maintenance) within a single year period (2024-2025) might be worth noting for context regarding the property's maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 8015 S Escanaba Ave 1Fl'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.
