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-unit residential building at 8039 S Coles Ave, located in Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood, was constructed in 1924 and is currently owned by Ms. Rcia Cannon. The property has generated a total of seven service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. The building's service request history shows a pattern of complaints related to water issues, with two low water pressure complaints documented in September 2024, though both were subsequently closed. More recently, in early 2026, there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with one complaint currently remaining open, while another from January 2026 has been closed. Additionally, a water lead test kit request was submitted in February 2026 and remains open, which could be of particular significance given the potential health implications associated with lead exposure. The limited service request history, consisting primarily of external issues rather than building-specific problems, suggests relatively minimal recorded maintenance or operational concerns, though the recent lead testing inquiry stands out as an important ongoing matter.

Risk rating

How 8039 S Coles Ave 2Nd'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.
