Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 13227 S Brandon Avenue in Hegewisch, owned by Jose B. Morales, is a two-story structure dating back to 1888. The building's record over the past seven years shows two building code violations and two 311 service requests. Most notably, there are two permit-related inspection violations recorded in 2019, with one of them remaining unresolved as of the latest available data. The only other recorded building code violation from this period was resolved prior to this. The 311 service requests include a dead animal pickup request made in December 2025 (which has since been closed) and an information-only call made in May 2024, both of which were routine municipal service requests and not indicative of any building-specific issues. While the building has experienced some permit-related inspection challenges, particularly in 2019, it's worth noting that two of the three recorded violations have been resolved and that the most recent service request was handled by city services rather than being related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 13227 S Brandon 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
27thpercentile

Out of 370 buildings in this neighborhood, 270 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
