Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8017 S Hermitage Ave in Auburn Gresham, owned by BLACKWELL CAP LLC, has experienced a concerning pattern of issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently seven open complaint-driven building code violations from August 2025 that remain unresolved. Between 2024 and 2025, the property has generated multiple 311 service requests, including rodent-related issues, dead animal removal, and a tree emergency, though the majority of these have been resolved. The building's overall violation history shows 17 violations in the past seven years, while the owner has accumulated 106 building violations and 108 service requests across their total 20 parcels. Despite these ongoing challenges, there has been only one building permit issued for this property in the past seven years, which raises questions about maintenance and upkeep. An environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping was recorded back in 2009, though this is the only such complaint on record for the property or its ownership group in the past 14 years.

Risk rating

How 8017 S Hermitage Ave 1'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.
