Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 13301 S Brandon Ave in Hegewisch, owned by Jesus Pimentel, has been standing since 1912 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past seven years. Most notably, in July 2025, the building underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six identified violations, though all were subsequently resolved. The building's history shows recurring issues with signage, evidenced by multiple repair requests in 2025 (two in July and one in October), and three graffiti removal requests between late 2024 and early 2025, two of which were processed through 311 City Services. These service requests and the recent violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the property owner has shown responsiveness by complying with the most recent violations. The building's records show a total of 15 building violations and 13 service requests over the past seven years, with only two building permits filed during this period, indicating limited permitted construction or renovation activity.

Risk rating

How 13301 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
