Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 9443 S Laflin St in Washington Heights, owned by Bobby Pulley, was constructed in 1957 and has experienced some notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are four open, unresolved building code violations recorded on September 27, 2023, following a complaint-driven inspection. While the exact nature of these violations is not specified in the available data, their recent occurrence and open status suggest they may significantly impact resident safety or comfort. The building's record also shows a total of ten 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being a Shared Cost Sidewalk Program Request from January 12, 2026, which remains open. Other service requests from 2025 included a variety of issues such as sign repairs, business complaints, alley potholes, and a sanitation code violation, though all of these have been resolved. The building's overall record indicates an uptick in reported issues, particularly in 2023, warranting attention to the building's current condition and management response to violations.

Risk rating

How 9443 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.

Neighborhood percentile
26thpercentile
