Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 7029 S Prairie Ave in Grand Crossing, owned by Katherine Moore, has been standing since 1898 and has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most concerning are two open building code violations as of January 2025, both stemming from complaint-driven inspections, suggesting ongoing issues that have not yet been resolved. This building also has a documented pattern of municipal service interactions, with four 311 service requests logged over the past seven years, though the majority of these (three out of four) have been successfully closed. The closed requests include two from September 2024 related to building sanitation and garbage maintenance, and one information-only call from April 2024. While the building has experienced multiple service interactions with city departments, the most significant ongoing concern appears to be the two unresolved building code violations recorded at the beginning of 2025, which warrant particular attention given their potential impact on resident safety and living conditions.

Risk rating

How 7029 S Prairie 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
35thpercentile
