Initial analysis

The 96-unit, 2013-built residential building at 747 E 47th Street in Chicago's Grand Boulevard neighborhood, owned by SHOPS & LOFTS, has had a documented history over the past seven years that merits attention. Most notably, there is an unresolved building code violation from July 2023 related to a periodic routine inspection, which raises potential concerns about building maintenance standards. The property has experienced 40 service requests through the 311 system in this period, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in 2026, including multiple open complaints about potholes in the street and at least two building violations. While the building resolved a permit-related inspection violation from April 2022, it's worth noting that the property's total building violations and service requests recorded through the owner profile match the overall building statistics, suggesting no discrepancies in the reporting. Despite being a relatively new construction, the frequency of recent service requests, particularly in 2026, indicates ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges in the immediate vicinity of the building, though many of these requests relate to street conditions rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 747 E 47Th 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
