Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 9158 S Ada Street in Washington Heights, owned by PUFORD APARTMENTS LLC, has been in operation since 1928 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. The building's record shows two unresolved permit-related violations from March 2020 that remain open. Over the past seven years, there have been 14 service requests made directly regarding the building itself, though the majority of the recent activity (2025) appears to be related to external city services rather than building-specific issues. These external requests include two tree-related incidents (one emergency and one removal inspection), multiple information-only calls, a street cleaning request, and a sign repair request, all of which were processed and closed. The owner has maintained three total parcels with one building permit recorded in the past seven years, and the property has accumulated a significant total of 51 service requests across the owner's other properties, though these are not necessarily related to the 9158 S Ada Street building specifically. While the building has experienced some administrative and maintenance interactions requiring city oversight, the nature of the most recent requests suggests that most issues have been successfully resolved, with the exception of the two permit-related violations from 2020 which warrant particular attention due to their unresolved status.

Risk rating

How 9158 S Ada 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.

Neighborhood percentile
20thpercentile

Out of 576 buildings in this neighborhood, 461 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
