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 8744 S Muskegon Ave in South Chicago, which was constructed in 1923, is currently owned by Camilo Oritz and has an uncomplicated record over the past seven years. The property has generated minimal service requests, with only one documented incident during this period - a stray animal complaint filed on September 11, 2024, which has since been closed. This single complaint, while recorded in the system, appears to be a relatively minor and routine issue affecting the neighborhood rather than the building itself, given its nature as an animal-related concern handled by city services. The building's overall record suggests stable ownership and minimal reported issues, though it's worth noting that buildings of this age typically have undergone various maintenance and updates over their lifetime, though such details are not captured in the available service request data.

Risk rating

How 8744 S Muskegon 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.
