Initial analysis

The property at 9026 S Justine St 1 in Washington Heights is a two-unit, 1926 building currently owned by Harry Valentine Jr. The building's most notable recent activity involves multiple open violations, with five unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded on July 31, 2024, which stands out as the most significant current concern. Prior to these, there was one 311 service request related to building violations made on July 16, 2024, though this specific request has since been closed. Over the past seven years, the building's record shows a total of five building violations and two building permits. While the number of total service requests is relatively low (only one in this period), the recent cluster of unresolved violations in mid-2024 warrants attention as the only active concerns in the building's current record.

Risk rating

How 9026 S Justine St 1'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
19thpercentile
