7044 S Hermitage Ave 1St

Englewood, Chicago IL 60636 20194280360000 2 units · 1962

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 property at 7044 S Hermitage Ave is a two-unit building located in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, constructed in 1962 and currently under the management of H & H Management. The building's record over the past seven years shows a concerning pattern of violations and service requests, with a total of 95 building violations documented, along with 81 service requests. While the vast majority of these service requests and violations could not be directly linked to the building's condition, they indicate ongoing issues in the surrounding area. The building received only one building permit during this period, and there was one environmental complaint filed against the property. More recently, in mid-2026, there were two separate reports of injured animals on the property, along with three abandoned vehicle complaints and one garbage cart maintenance request in 2025. All these service requests were closed by the city, though the nature of their resolutions is not detailed in the records. The consistent pattern of violations and service requests, combined with the limited number of permits issued, suggests there may be ongoing maintenance or regulatory compliance challenges.

Risk rating

How 7044 S Hermitage Ave 1St'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.
