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 three-unit building located at 8740 S Muskegon Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood is a 1925 structure currently owned by Ernesto Herrera. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests filed during this period, both of which were resolved and closed. The most recent incident, from May 2026, involved reporting an injured animal, while the earlier request from March 2024 concerned tree debris clean-up. Neither of these incidents appears to directly impact the building's habitability or resident safety, and there are no recorded complaints or violations on the property, suggesting generally stable conditions.

Risk rating

How 8740 S Muskegon Ave Bsmt'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.

Neighborhood percentile
