Unlock complete reportThe two-unit building at 8733 S Saginaw Ave in South Chicago, owned by JO NA I LLC and constructed in 1894, has a concerning recent history of unresolved building code violations and maintenance issues. Most notably, as of March 2026, there are multiple open complaint-driven inspection violations that remain unresolved, including additional violations logged between June 2022 and March 2026 that also have not been addressed. The property has generated significant service activity, with 77 total service requests over the past seven years, and 15 of those specifically relating to the building itself. The most recent pattern of service requests in 2026 has centered around tree debris clean-up, with multiple requests in May 2026 (four of which are either closed or ongoing), and some building-related issues including plumbing violations in February 2026 that have since been addressed. The building's total violation count over seven years stands at 10, with four building permits issued during this period. While the property has seen some attention to its infrastructure through building permits, the persistent pattern of unresolved code violations, particularly those logged in 2022 and 2026, raises ongoing compliance and maintenance concerns.

How 8733 S Saginaw Ave'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.
