South Chicago, Chicago IL 60617 21313060160000 2 units · 1916

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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, 1916 residential building at 8300 S Manistee Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood, currently owned by Ali Mohamed Shilwa, has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of nine recorded incidents. The documented service requests primarily consist of urban maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns, including three dead animal pick-up requests (in May and October of 2024), an abandoned vehicle complaint (June 2026), a graffiti removal request (October 2025), a street light outage complaint (May 2025), and two 311 information-only calls (one in December 2025 and an unspecified date in 2026). It's worth noting that all service requests were marked as closed, suggesting they were addressed by the appropriate authorities. While the relatively low number of service requests over this extended period may indicate stable building conditions, the majority of recorded incidents relate to neighborhood and street-level maintenance rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 8300 S Manistee 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
13thpercentile

Out of 2611 buildings in this neighborhood, 2272 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
