Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-story residential property at 8019 S Dobson Ave in Chatham, owned by Carmen Wilson, has been standing since 1920 and has generated a total of eight service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent activity from January 2026 includes an open water on street complaint, while a sewer cleaning inspection request from the same date has been closed. The property has experienced several infrastructure-related issues in recent years, including a pothole complaint in the street (closed in May 2025), garbage cart maintenance needs (closed January 2025), and an abandoned vehicle complaint (also closed January 2025). Additionally, there was a tree removal inspection conducted in October 2024 that has reached a closed status. While the building itself has not been the subject of the 311 complaints, the surrounding infrastructure has experienced multiple issues requiring municipal attention, particularly in relation to street maintenance and sanitation matters.

Risk rating

How 8019 S Dobson 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.

Neighborhood percentile
85thpercentile

Out of 1901 buildings in this neighborhood, 285 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
