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 residential building at 8836 S Eggleston Ave in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, owned by Samer Salem, was constructed in 1877 and has generated a total of six documented 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent service requests, from 2026 and 2025, were typically routine municipal matters including garbage cart maintenance, recycling pick-up, and two reports of injured animals. However, a notable concerning pattern emerged in late 2024 with two incidents that may impact resident quality of life: a water-related issue in the basement reported in December 2024, and a street lighting problem reported in August 2025. The building's service request history shows no pattern of recurring issues, with the majority of complaints relating to city services rather than building-specific problems. The property's documented service requests suggest regular interaction with city services, primarily for environmental and maintenance matters, with only one concerning infrastructure issue on record.

Risk rating

How 8836 S Eggleston 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
77thpercentile
