Initial analysis

The property at 9156 S Oglesby in Chicago's Calumet Heights neighborhood is a 7-unit building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by JAM 4 LTD. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced a total of 17 building code violations and 18 311 service requests. A notable cluster of violations occurred on February 3, 2021, when six complaint-driven inspections were conducted, though all of these violations were subsequently resolved. In recent years, there has been increased activity regarding tree-related matters, with four tree planting requests submitted between April 2025 and April 2026, three of which remain open as of the current date. Additionally, there was one stray animal complaint in November 2025, which has since been closed. Other service requests during this period were for information purposes only and have been resolved. While the building has had multiple violations, it is significant that the most recent building code violations were promptly addressed, though the concentration of such violations in a single date period is noteworthy. The current focus appears to be primarily on landscaping matters, as evidenced by the multiple tree planting requests.

Risk rating

How 9156 S Oglesby Chicago'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
