AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 8832 S Kenwood Ave in Chicago's Calumet Heights neighborhood, owned by Shavon L Truman, has been standing since 1956. The property's recent service request history over the past seven years is relatively minimal, with a total of five 311 service requests recorded. The most recent incident occurred in February 2026, involving a pothole complaint in the street, which was addressed by the Chicago Department of Transportation and marked as closed. Prior to that, in September 2025, there was a tree trimming request, though it's noted that such requests are no longer being accepted. In March 2025, there was an inspection request for tree removal, and on August 4, 2024, two separate incidents were reported: one concerning bee or wasp removal and the other for basic information through 311 City Services. While the building's service request history shows regular maintenance issues typical for the area, none of the reported incidents directly relate to the building's structure or internal systems, focusing instead on external environmental factors such as street conditions and local flora.

Risk rating

How 8832 S Kenwood 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.
