Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8847 S Dante Ave in Calumet Heights, owned by John Early, has a mixed record of maintenance and responsiveness over the past seven years. Built in 1930, this property has experienced ongoing plumbing and water issues, with the most recent cluster of incidents occurring in February 2025, including complaints about water quality, low water pressure, and multiple building violations. While these recent violations were resolved within a month, it is noteworthy that there were also two open building code violations recorded in February 2022 that remain unresolved. The building's overall record shows a total of 11 building violations and 17 service requests under the current ownership, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years. The relatively high number of building violations (11) and recent service requests related to water issues suggest recurring infrastructure challenges that may impact resident comfort, though most recent violations have been resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 8847 S Dante Ave 3'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.
