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 three-unit residential building at 8809 S Dante Ave in the Calumet Heights neighborhood is a two-parcel property built in 1929, currently owned by Robert E Williams. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of nine 311 service requests, with three of these originating directly from the building itself. The most recent activity on record includes three service requests from late 2024 to early 2025, all of which have been successfully closed. These requests specifically addressed external issues, including a water street complaint, an alley pothole complaint, and a sanitation code violation, all of which are matters affecting the public right-of-way or shared community spaces rather than the building's internal conditions or systems. Given the age of the property and the limited number of service requests over this extended period, the available records suggest relatively minimal documented concerns, though it's important to note that not all building issues may be captured through the 311 system.

Risk rating

How 8809 S Dante 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.

Neighborhood percentile
45thpercentile

Out of 496 buildings in this neighborhood, 273 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
