Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6943 S Peoria St in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Jesse J Scott, is a century-old property constructed in 1914. The building's recent history is concerning, particularly due to five unresolved building code violations that were all recorded on April 26, 2022, stemming from complaint-driven inspections. While the property has had a total of five building violations in the past seven years, the cluster of open violations from 2022 stands out as the most significant recent issue affecting the property. Additionally, there have been three 311 service requests over the past seven years, all of which were successfully resolved: two regarding animal-related complaints (a nuisance animal in April 2024 and a stray animal in October 2025) and one concerning an abandoned vehicle (December 2025). The most pressing concern from the available data remains the unresolved building code violations from 2022, as these represent potential ongoing safety or maintenance issues within the property.

Risk rating

How 6943 S Peoria St'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
