AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 8825 S Saginaw Ave, owned by Renee D Toran, has been in operation since 1924 in Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood. The property currently has four unresolved building code violations, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection on December 19, 2022, which collectively raises concerns about potential ongoing safety or habitability issues in the building. Additionally, there have been two 311 service requests filed on August 5, 2024, regarding tree planting, though these are maintenance requests unrelated to the building's condition. While the building has a relatively limited history of service requests and violations over the past seven years, the presence of multiple open violations from late 2022 warrants attention as these may impact resident quality of life and safety.

Risk rating

How 8825 S Saginaw Ave 1'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.
