Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2949 E 80th St in South Chicago, constructed in 1893, has a significant history of building violations and service requests over the past seven years. The property, which appears to be owned by a taxpayer entity, has recorded a staggering 2,228 building violations during this period, along with 8,731 service requests. While the building has obtained 338 permits, which indicates some level of authorized work being performed, the high number of violations is concerning. The property has also experienced environmental issues, with 10 enforcement actions and 33 complaints filed, including a notable illegal dumping incident in 1999 that resulted in a work order. Recent 311 service requests from 2025-2026 include complaints about abandoned vehicles and missed garbage pickup, though these appear to be external to the building itself. Additionally, there have been three violations related to house sharing activities, suggesting some level of unauthorized rental activity.

Risk rating

How 2949 E 80Th St'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.
