Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building located at 8734 S Marquette Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood is a historic structure dating back to 1893, currently owned by Mr. and Mrs. Chotoosingh. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years reveals a pattern of municipal service interactions primarily related to waste management and animal control issues. Most notably, there were two garbage cart maintenance requests in early 2026, and a tree removal inspection request in October 2025, all of which have been closed. The property has experienced some neighborhood challenges, as evidenced by two animal-related incidents in January 2025, including a dead animal pick-up request and a stray animal complaint. While the building's two-unit configuration and age suggest it has undergone minimal recent changes, the relatively low number of service requests (eight in total over seven years) indicates limited documented problems through official channels. The most recent issues have been more focused on exterior and communal space concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 8734 S Marquette 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.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
