Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 9416 S Laflin Street in Washington Heights, owned by COMMUNITY INVESTMENT, has been standing since 1925 and is currently facing multiple unresolved issues. As of May 2026, there are five open violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections, all logged on the same date, indicating a potentially serious and systemic problem requiring attention. The building's recent history shows minimal activity in terms of service calls, with only one 311 service request recorded in the past seven years - a stray animal complaint that was resolved in July 2024. While the building has had a total of 19 building permits issued in the past seven years, these seem relatively few considering the number of units. The property is part of a larger portfolio owned by COMMUNITY INVESTMENT, which includes 46 parcels and has accumulated significant building code violations across its holdings, totaling 234 in the past seven years, along with 464 service requests. The only environmental complaint on record from 2014 regarding air pollution was investigated and found to be unfounded.

Risk rating

How 9416 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
