Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 9037 S Exchange Ave in Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood, owned by Efigenia Perez, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1893. The property has experienced relatively few issues in recent years, with only two building code violations recorded in the past seven years: one in November 2021 that was resolved and another, as of December 2021, which remains open and unresolved. The building has generated 20 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent three requests (from October 2025) relating to multiple tree planting requests that are still open. Other notable service requests include a rodent baiting complaint from July 2025 (now closed), a stray animal complaint from December 2025 (closed), and a sign repair request from March 2026 (currently open). The property has required minimal intervention in terms of building permits, with only two recorded in the same seven-year period. While the number of service requests is relatively high for a small building, most of these appear to be related to exterior maintenance and urban infrastructure rather than internal building issues.

Risk rating

How 9037 S Exchange 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.

Neighborhood percentile
16thpercentile
