Calumet Heights, Chicago IL 60617 25011090260000 5 units · 1928

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

The five-unit building at 8714 S Jeffery Ave in Calumet Heights, owned by Marc Deshaies, was constructed in 1928 and has two parcels under its ownership. The property has experienced a total of 14 service requests in the past seven years, with 10 of these originating specifically from this address. The most recent documented service request was for garbage cart maintenance in May 2026, while an open water lead test kit request from January 2026 represents a potential health concern for residents. The building has also experienced some infrastructure issues, as evidenced by a sewer cave-in inspection request in January 2026. Street-related concerns have been notable, with multiple street light outages reported in May 2025 and a pothole complaint in February 2025, all of which have been resolved. While the overall number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this age and size, the presence of both water testing and sewer-related issues in 2026 warrant particular attention.

Risk rating

How 8714 S Jeffery 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

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
20thpercentile
