Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 9149 S Laflin St in Chicago's Washington Heights neighborhood, owned by Gwendolyn Pass, has a documented history dating back to its 1947 construction. The property has accumulated a total of seven building violations over the past seven years, with a notably troubling cluster of unresolved issues emerging from a complaint-driven inspection on October 26, 2020, which resulted in six open violations - all from the same inspection date - that remain unresolved as of the most current records. These open violations from the 2020 inspection represent a significant concern, given their persistence through multiple inspection cycles. In addition to the building violations, there have been six 311 service requests logged for the property over the same seven-year period, though the specific nature of these requests is not detailed in the available records. The combination of multiple open violations and service requests indicates ongoing maintenance or compliance challenges at this address, warranting attention to the building's overall condition and regulatory compliance status.

Risk rating

How 9149 S Laflin St'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.
