Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8733 S Manistee Ave 2 in Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood is a 1924 construction currently owned by Bentura Contreras. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced two building code violations, both of which were documented on March 7, 2025, during complaint-driven inspections. These violations have since been resolved, with the status changed to "Complied." While the building's violation record is relatively minimal and shows prompt attention to resolving issues, it's noteworthy that both documented violations occurred on the same date, suggesting a potential cluster of problems that warranted inspection. The property's compliance with building code requirements following these violations demonstrates that the ownership addressed the identified issues, though prospective tenants may wish to inquire further about the nature of these past complaints and their resolution.

Risk rating

How 8733 S Manistee Ave 2's risk score is calculated

Typical — about average for the neighborhood
