Initial analysis

The 14-unit residential building at 8156 S Ada Street in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, owned by Goldman Investments T2, has experienced notable challenges in recent years. Built in 1923, this multi-family property has generated a significant number of building code violations and service requests, particularly in the most recent years. Most concerning is the pattern of unresolved complaint-driven inspections throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple open violations recorded in both June and September 2025. These persistent open violations suggest ongoing compliance issues requiring attention. The building has also been the subject of various 311 service requests between 2025 and 2026, including a plumbing violation that remains open as of May 2026, as well as previously resolved issues related to sanitation and rodent problems in August 2025. The property's record indicates a total of 23 building violations and 7 service requests over the past seven years, with the highest concentration of recent activity occurring in 2025, raising concerns about the building's maintenance and management response to resident needs.

Risk rating

How 8156 S Ada 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.
