Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building located at 9032 S Laflin St 1W in the Washington Heights neighborhood was constructed in 1946 and is currently owned by Laban Griffin. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal service requests, with only one 311 complaint specifically related to the building itself - an alley pothole complaint filed in June 2024, which has since been closed. The owner, who holds title to two parcels, has generated a total of six service requests during this period, though the specific nature of these requests is not detailed in the available records. The relatively low number of service requests associated with both the building and the owner could suggest either proactive property management or a limited number of reported issues, though without more context about the nature of these requests, no definitive conclusions can be drawn about the property's maintenance or resident experience.

Risk rating

How 9032 S Laflin St 1W'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.
