Initial analysis

The 118-unit residential building at 300 E 26th Street in Chicago's Near South Side neighborhood, owned by Mercy Campus Dev LLC, was constructed in 2008 and has experienced several notable issues over recent years. The building has undergone multiple periodic routine inspections, with four violations recorded and resolved in November 2025, while there remain two unresolved violations from July 2025 and April 2026 that require attention. In addition to these building code violations, there was an environmental complaint regarding air pollution in June 2026 that was referred to the Building Department and appears to have been addressed within one day of reporting. The building has had minimal service requests, with only one 311 service request recorded in May 2025 regarding sign repairs, which remains unresolved. While the total number of building violations, service requests, and environmental complaints over the past seven years (9 violations, 1 service request, and 1 complaint) is relatively low for a building of this size, the presence of multiple open violations and an unresolved sign repair issue suggests there are some outstanding maintenance and compliance matters that require attention.

Risk rating

How 300 E 26Th Chicago'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
