Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8506 South Manistee Avenue in the South Chicago neighborhood, constructed in 1916, has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. Most recently, in April 2025, the property underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections, resulting in two resolved violations, though one permit-related inspection violation remains open and unresolved. The building's maintenance and compliance history shows a total of 14 building violations and 14 service requests recorded over the past seven years, all of which have been addressed except for the most recent open violation. In terms of service requests, the property has seen various issues requiring municipal attention, including three ice and snow removal requests and two sanitation code violations in late 2025, all of which have been resolved. The building's permit history in this period is relatively limited, with only two permits issued. While the property's violation and service request history shows consistent engagement with city services, most issues appear to be routine maintenance and compliance matters rather than concerning safety violations.

Risk rating

How 8506 S Manistee 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
11thpercentile
