Initial analysis

The four-unit building at 2416 S Michigan Ave in Chicago's Near South Side, owned by Mattie D Blair and constructed in 1913, is currently facing several significant issues requiring attention. Most notably, there are six unresolved periodic routine inspection violations filed on April 6, 2024, suggesting potential ongoing compliance or safety concerns within the building. While the building's documented history over the past seven years shows a limited number of total incidents (8 violations, 10 service requests, and 1 permit), the recent clustering of inspection violations is particularly concerning. The property has experienced various external maintenance challenges recently, with multiple service requests in 2026 including an open fly dumping complaint, two open graffiti removal requests from May 2026, and an open tree removal inspection request. However, it's worth noting that previous graffiti issues (from April and May 2026) were resolved, as was an inspect public way request from April 2026. The building's record shows one building permit issued in the past seven years, though no specific details about this permit are provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2416 S Michigan 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
64thpercentile

Out of 57 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
