Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 9204 S Saginaw in Chicago's Calumet Heights neighborhood, owned by Investment Otters, has a record suggesting significant recent challenges with property maintenance and resident safety. Built in 1924, this multi-family building has accumulated 30 building code violations over the past seven years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in late 2025. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved, complaint-driven building code violations as of August 2025, which are still listed as open. The property has also experienced multiple sanitation-related issues, with three sanitation code violation complaints recorded between October and November 2025, along with a plumbing violation during the same period. Additional resident concerns have been documented through 311 service requests, including a vicious animal complaint and a nuisance animal complaint, both of which were resolved by January 2026. While the building has had consistent engagement with city services, with 20 311 service requests and one building permit on record over the past seven years, the concentration of violations and service requests in late 2025, particularly related to building codes and sanitation issues, stands out as a significant pattern warranting attention.

Risk rating

How 9204 S Saginaw Chicago'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.
