Burnside, Chicago IL 60619 25023160380000 2 units · 1878

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 9336 S University Ave in Chicago's Burnside neighborhood, owned by Alex Sierra, has a relatively limited service history since its construction in 1878. In recent years, the property has generated two animal-related complaints within a one-year period, with the most recent being a stray animal complaint filed in April 2025 and a nuisance animal complaint submitted in March 2024, both of which have been closed. These incidents, while requiring municipal attention, represent non-structural quality of life issues rather than significant building concerns. Looking further back, there was an asbestos work-related complaint filed in 2011, though this was investigated and no violation was found, with the case being officially resolved by September 2011. The building's recent service record shows minimal activity, and there are no documented complaints or service requests related to the building's structural integrity, safety systems, or other major systems over the past several years.

Risk rating

How 9336 S University 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
44thpercentile

Out of 120 buildings in this neighborhood, 67 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
