Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 8751 South Cottage Grove in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by PP P17 2 LLC, has experienced several noteworthy events over the past seven years. Built in 1961, this multi-family property has recorded a total of 18 building violations under the current ownership, with four of those violations occurring specifically at this address. All four violations at 8751 S Cottage Grove, which were all categorized as complaint-driven inspections, occurred on December 16, 2019, though it's worth noting that all were resolved and marked as complied with by the authorities. While the building has had a relatively high number of complaint-driven inspections, totaling 48 service requests through the 311 system during the last seven years, it has only obtained two building permits in the same timeframe. The building's age and violation history suggest a history of maintenance and compliance issues, though the prompt resolution of the 2019 violations indicates some level of responsiveness to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 8751 S Cottage Grove 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
