Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 9752 S Avenue J in Chicago's East Side neighborhood, constructed in 1888 and currently owned by Icarus Invest Group, has experienced a significant number of official interventions over the past seven years. Most notably, there have been 73 documented building violations during this period, along with 54 service requests made through the city's 311 system. The most recent spate of issues, occurring throughout the summer of 2025, included multiple complaints about vacant or abandoned building status (in June and July), sanitation problems (missed garbage pick-up in June and a sanitation code violation on the same day), and two information-only calls in July and August. The property's recent history raises concerns about building maintenance and resident experience, with particular attention warranted regarding the vacant/abandoned status complaints and sanitation violations. The building's permit record shows that only seven building permits have been issued in the past seven years, though this figure alone doesn't indicate the nature or extent of their use.

Risk rating

How 9752 S Avenue J'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.
