Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 9207 S Laflin St in Chicago's Washington Heights neighborhood, owned by Curtis A Hill, has experienced significant and ongoing regulatory concerns over the past two years. Built in 1949, the property currently has an alarming pattern of unresolved complaint-driven violations, with six such violations recorded between August and November 2023. The building's recent history shows a particularly concentrated period of issues in late 2023 and throughout 2024, with multiple complaint-driven violations occurring in quick succession. Between April and October 2024, there have been six 311 service requests specifically related to building violations, all of which have been closed, though this indicates continued monitoring of the property by city services. The current state of unresolved complaint-driven violations as of August 2024 raises questions about building maintenance and resident safety, though it's important to note that these are open violations while previous requests have been processed through the city's systems. The record shows ten building violations in total over the past seven years, though most of these appear to be concentrated in the most recent two-year period, suggesting potentially escalating conditions that warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 9207 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.
