Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building at 8232 S Exchange Ave in South Chicago, owned by Consuelo Y Hernandez, has been part of the city's property records since its construction in 1916. The property has had relatively few documented service requests over the past seven years, with a total of four 311 service requests on file. The most recent activity, indicating ongoing concerns about water quality, is an open request from May 2026 for a water lead test kit. Prior to this, there were three service requests in 2025: two closed requests for tree trimming (both now ineligible for acceptance under current policies), and a closed request from March 2026 for dead animal pickup. The building's documented service request history shows a focus on environmental maintenance issues, primarily related to urban flora management and public health. While the number of service requests over this seven-year period is relatively low for a residential building of this age, the open water testing request is especially noteworthy and suggests attention may be warranted to the building's water system status.

Risk rating

How 8232 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
