Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 927 S Carpenter Street, located in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood and owned by Shih Chian Kang, has been standing since 1883. The property has experienced several municipal service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2025. The building's recent history from 2024 is marked by multiple waste management issues, including three separate fly dumping complaints (in April and June of that year) and a graffiti removal request in April. The frequency of waste-related incidents suggests ongoing challenges with litter management in the immediate vicinity. Looking further back, there was an environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping in 2017, which was referred to Streets and Sanitation for resolution. While the building has not had any reported service requests or complaints directly impacting resident safety or building integrity, the pattern of waste-related service requests indicates a need for improved environmental maintenance in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 927 S Carpenter St'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
