Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 8058 S Exchange Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood, owned by Hector Jean, is a 124-year-old property with a concerning recent history of maintenance and compliance issues. Most alarmingly, as of October 2023, there are two unresolved building code violations from January 2023, and two open service requests from late 2025 related to building permit and construction violations. The property has experienced significant water-related issues, with four no water complaints recorded in March 2026, though these were subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history includes a notable number of owner-initiated service requests and violations, with records showing 107 total building violations and 83 service requests over the past seven years, though these numbers are presented in the context of ownership rather than the building's current operation. The most recent documented infrastructure activity includes a sewer cleaning inspection request from June 2026 and a tree removal inspection request from February 2026, with the latter currently unresolved. Given the age of the building and its history of relative maintenance issues, prospective tenants should carefully consider the available information while seeking further context from recent property management.

Risk rating

How 8058 S Exchange 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
8thpercentile
