AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 9317 S Saginaw Ave 1 in Calumet Heights, constructed in 1927, has a troubling history over the past seven years under the ownership of "TAXPAYER OF." The property has recorded an exceptionally high number of building violations, totaling 2,228. While the building has received 338 permits during this period, suggesting some level of maintenance or improvement work, this number is dwarfed by the total of 8,731 service requests made by the owner. Environmental issues have also been a significant concern, with 10 enforcement actions and 33 complaints filed, though these numbers represent a relatively small fraction of the overall activity associated with the property. In terms of recent events, the only documented incident in the past seven years is a consumer fraud complaint filed in April 2024, which has since been closed. Additionally, there have been three violations related to house sharing, indicating some regulatory compliance challenges. The sheer volume of violation and service request records suggests systemic issues that may affect resident experience, though the presence of building permits could indicate ongoing efforts to address some of these concerns.

Risk rating

How 9317 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.
