Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8610 S Baltimore Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood, owned by M & M Baltimore LLC, has experienced a concerning pattern of maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Built in 1929, this property has recorded six 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most significant cluster of incidents occurring in 2025. During this time, the building faced multiple urgent concerns, including rodent issues, lead inspection needs, plumbing violations, and a general building violation, all of which have since been closed. Prior to this, there was another building violation reported in September 2024, and a garbage cart maintenance issue in August 2024, both of which were also resolved. Notably, the building has had only one building permit filed in the past seven years, which may suggest limited recent renovation or maintenance activity. While the property has addressed its reported issues, the frequency and nature of these service requests indicate recurring maintenance challenges that have required multiple interventions by city services to resolve.

Risk rating

How 8610 S Baltimore 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.
