9014 S Lowe Ave

Auburn Gresham, Chicago IL 60620 25041250270000 2 units · 1886

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 property at 9014 S Lowe Ave in Auburn Gresham, owned by George W Graves Jr and dating back to 1886, has experienced a variety of municipal service interactions over the past seven years, totaling 27 documented 311 service requests. The most recent activity, as of February 2026, has primarily involved maintenance-related issues, including two garbage cart maintenance requests and one tree removal inspection. Notably, there have been repeated concerns about abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with two complaints filed within two months of each other in late 2025. The frequency of service requests and the nature of these issues suggest ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges, particularly related to waste management and street maintenance, though all reported issues appear to have been resolved, as indicated by their "Closed" status.

Risk rating

How 9014 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
17thpercentile

Out of 2843 buildings in this neighborhood, 2360 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
