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 two-unit building at 8833 S Lowe Ave in Auburn Gresham, owned by Joe M Bundrage, is a 140-year-old property constructed in 1883. Over the past seven years, the building has generated five documented 311 service requests, with the most recent occurring in October 2025. The service requests cover a range of issues, including some that may impact resident comfort, such as a basement water issue reported in August 2025. The property has also experienced several infrastructure-related incidents, including a street light outage in March 2025 and a pothole complaint in the street in April 2024, both of which were addressed by the Chicago Department of Transportation. Additionally, there was a recycling cart request in April 2024, and the most recent service request involved reporting an injured animal in October 2025. While all reported issues were ultimately closed, the pattern of service requests suggests periodic maintenance and infrastructure challenges in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 8833 S Lowe 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
