Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8743 S Marquette Ave in Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by DHJS LLC, has a documented history of modest maintenance and service requests over recent years. The property has accumulated six building violations and 40 service requests over the past seven years, though the specific nature of these violations was not detailed in the available records. Recent activity indicates attention to waste management infrastructure, with two service requests related to cart maintenance (blue recycling and garbage) filed and closed in December 2025, suggesting either regular maintenance or replacement of waste management equipment. Prior to these, there was one sanitation code violation reported and subsequently closed in May 2024. The building's service request history shows relatively low-frequency issues, with only three 311 service requests in the last seven years, indicating that while there have been some compliance and maintenance matters, they do not appear to be overly frequent or severe based on the available data.

Risk rating

How 8743 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

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.
