Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 13739 S Brainard in Chicago's Hegewisch neighborhood, constructed in 1964 and currently owned by American Management, has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. The property has recorded a total of four building code violations, with the most recent occurring in March 2025, though two violations from December 2024 remain unresolved as of the latest data. The building has also generated 16 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with six of these occurring within 2025 alone, including reports of building violations, water-related issues (no water and leak complaints), and a 311 information call. The property has undergone three building permit modifications in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the data provided. While some building code violations have been resolved, the presence of recent and unresolved violations, coupled with multiple 311 service requests related to building conditions, suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 13739 S Brainard 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.

Neighborhood percentile
