Initial analysis

The eight-unit building at 8450 S Ashland in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood is a 1928 property currently owned by Percy Allison. Over the past seven years, the building's record shows a relatively low level of activity, with four building code violations and one 311 service request. Notably, all four of the building code violations recorded in March 2020 were related to periodic routine inspections and have been resolved, with their status marked as "Complied." The only recent service request was made in May 2026 and was classified as an "Information Only" call to 311 City Services, which has since been closed. Throughout this period, the building has had only one building permit filed under the owner's name, and no other significant negative events or recurring issues are evident in the record.

Risk rating

How 8450 S Ashland 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
5thpercentile

Out of 2843 buildings in this neighborhood, 2701 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
