Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 9654 S Avenue N, located in Chicago's East Side neighborhood, has been under the ownership of Fernando R. Chavez since its construction in 1935. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of seven service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring as recently as May 2025. A notable incident was reported in December 2024, when water accumulation in the basement prompted a formal complaint, though it should be noted this issue is somewhat mitigated by the building's vintage construction date which typically incorporates some basic moisture management systems. The property has also experienced various other minor incidents, including graffiti requiring removal (October 2024) and a city vehicle sticker violation (May 2024), both of which were subsequently addressed and closed. Three separate calls for information were made to 311 in December 2024, though these did not appear to relate to any persistent building issues. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building of this age and size, the recent timing of some complaints and the nature of the basement water issue may warrant attention, though no such recommendations are implied in this report.

Risk rating

How 9654 S Avenue N'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.
