Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 8452 S Stony Island Ave in Chicago's Avalon Park neighborhood, owned by Jewel L Triplett, has an established history dating back to its 1953 construction. The most pressing current issues involve multiple unresolved complaint-driven inspections from September 2020, with four open violations on record that have remained unaddressed for over three years. While the building has generated additional service requests over the past seven years, these tend to be less directly related to the building's condition or safety. These include two reports of abandoned vehicles in March 2026, an injured animal report from August 2025, and a street light pole damage complaint from June 2025, all of which were properly closed after investigation. The building's violation and service request history shows relatively minimal interaction with city services, though the persistence of the 2020 violations warrants attention as the most significant building-related issue on record.

Risk rating

How 8452 S Stony Island 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
