Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 8153 South Coles Avenue in the South Chicago neighborhood, owned by Fatima Calvillo, was constructed in 1925 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, in March 2023, the property underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six building code violations, though all were promptly complied with and resolved. These violations occurred simultaneously on the same date, suggesting either a coordinated inspection of multiple issues or a single incident that prompted multiple citations. More recently, on October 25, 2024, there was a 311 service request for a dead animal pick-up, which has since been closed. The building's record shows a total of seven violations in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the available data. While the property has had some violations that required attention, the relatively prompt resolution of the 2023 violations is notable, and there has only been one recent service request in 2024.

Risk rating

How 8153 S Coles Ave 1'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.
