Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 9239 S Brandon Ave 2 in Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood, owned by Rodolfo Gonzalez, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1888. The property has experienced significant recent activity, particularly in September 2023, when multiple complaint-driven inspections were conducted, resulting in several open violations that remain unresolved as of October 2023. While one violation from this batch was resolved, the persistence of multiple open violations warrants attention. Over the past seven years, the building's violation record is notable, with a total of 20 violations documented, though only three 311 service requests have been filed during this period. The property has also generated three 311 service requests in 2025 alone, including issues related to recycling and garbage cart maintenance, both of which have been resolved, as well as a previously closed vicious animal complaint from June 2025. The building's combined violation and service request record suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly in light of the recent cluster of open violations from September 2023.

Risk rating

How 9239 S Brandon Ave 2'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.
