Initial analysis

The property at 8751 S Blackstone Ave in Chicago's Calumet Heights neighborhood is a single-parcel building constructed in 1952, currently owned by Hunt (owner ID 075889827). Over the past seven years, the building has maintained a relatively clean record with only one building violation documented in December 2021, which was permit-related and has since been resolved. The property has generated a total of 18 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the majority of recent activity (2025-2026) focused on tree maintenance and cleanup. Specifically, there are multiple tree-related requests including debris clean-up and trimming, with one tree debris clean-up request still remaining open as of June 2026. Additionally, there are two open service requests from late 2025 related to sewer cleaning inspection and tree trimming, alongside a completed request for a blue recycling cart in December 2025. The building's record suggests regular maintenance needs regarding trees and some infrastructure elements, though the relatively low number of building violations and prompt resolution of the only documented violation is notable.

Risk rating

How 8751 S Blackstone 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

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.
