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 9393 S Ewing Ave in Chicago's East Side neighborhood, owned by Juan Avila, is a historic structure dating back to 1891. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years shows relatively low activity, with only three requests directly related to the property itself. However, when considering the owner's total holdings (two parcels), there is a combined total of 24 service requests. The most recent and only recorded service requests for this specific address in 2024 were related to graffiti issues, with two separate incidents occurring in April of that year, both of which were successfully resolved. Prior to these, there was a pothole complaint in May 2025, although this was a street-related issue rather than a property concern, and it had been addressed by the city services department. While the building's age is noteworthy, the limited number of service requests and the nature of the issues (primarily external property matters) suggest relatively stable conditions, though the age of the building indicates typical preservation considerations may be relevant.

Risk rating

How 9393 S Ewing 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.
