Unlock complete reportThe three-story, 15-unit residential building at 8953 S Ada Street in Chicago's Washington Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1928 and currently owned by PP P14 3 LLC, has a concerning recent history marked by multiple unresolved issues. Most notably, there are currently seven open building code violations as of May 2024, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection on May 29, 2024. This cluster of unresolved violations is particularly significant as it represents the highest concentration of current building violations in recent months. The property has generated a total of 67 service requests to the city over the past seven years, with the most recent being a plumbing violation in February 2026. Historical records show the building has had 33 total building violations attributed to the owner over this period, though most of these have been resolved except for the latest May 2024 violations. The building's service request history also includes several miscellaneous issues in 2025, such as parking violations and animal-related matters, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or habitability. While the building has received only two building permits in the past seven years, the concentration of recent violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

How 8953 S Ada Chicago'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
Grade A–B — Low risk
City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.
Grade C — Moderate risk
Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
Grade D–F — High risk
Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
