Unlock complete reportThis two-unit residential building at 9521 S Avenue M in Chicago's East Side neighborhood is a century-old property dating back to 1903, currently owned by Porfirio Rodriguez. The building's maintenance record over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two service requests filed through the 311 system, both of which were reported and resolved on January 7, 2026. These recent requests were for routine municipal services related to waste management, specifically for a blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance, both of which were promptly closed out. The limited number of service requests on record could suggest either effective property management or potentially indicate that not all issues have been reported through the city's 311 system. However, it's worth noting that in the context of the building's age and size, the relatively recent nature of the service requests and their specific focus on waste management infrastructure rather than building condition issues might not be cause for major concern regarding the property's overall maintenance status.

How 9521 S Avenue M'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.
Out of 948 buildings in this neighborhood, 171 are predicted to be safer.
