Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 8006 S Drexel Ave in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Roy Beard, has maintained a generally low record of complaints and violations over the past seven years. The two-story structure, dating back to 1924, has only one documented building code violation from November 2019 related to a complaint-driven inspection, which remains unresolved as of the current date. The property has attracted multiple service requests through the 311 system, totaling eight in the recent seven-year period, with the majority (five instances) concerning garbage cart maintenance between 2024 and 2026. Additional service requests included two street-related issues—a pothole complaint in April 2025 and a public way inspection request in July 2024. The building's permit activity over the past seven years has been relatively modest, with six permits issued. While the number of service requests might suggest some concerns about waste management and public space maintenance, the limited number of building violations and the overall low frequency of complaints could indicate stable building operations, though the open code violation from 2019 warrants attention from a building maintenance perspective.

Risk rating

How 8006 S Drexel Ave'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
38thpercentile

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 1179 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
