Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 8412 S Exchange Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood, owned by N Anderson, has been standing since 1888 and exhibits several concerning patterns in its recent history. Most notably, in January 2023, there were five complaint-driven inspection violations filed against the property, all of which remain open and unresolved as of the current date, potentially indicating ongoing safety or habitability issues. The building's record also shows a series of vacant/abandoned building complaints between May 2024 and May 2025, with four such complaints documented in quick succession, suggesting persistent concerns about the building's occupancy status and maintenance. Additional service requests include a leak investigation in June 2024 and an injured animal report in May 2024, both of which were properly addressed and closed. The concentration of these complaints and unresolved violations raises questions about the building's current condition and management response, though it's worth noting that some of these issues may have been resolved outside of official record updates.

How 8412 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
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.
Out of 2603 buildings in this neighborhood, 1926 are predicted to be safer.
