Initial analysis

The property at 6952 S Cornell in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood is a 38-unit building constructed in 1927, currently owned by New Venture Realty LLC. The building's recent history over the past seven years shows concerning trends, with a notably high number of building violations recorded at 44, alongside 63 service requests from the owner. While there have only been five 311 service requests in the past seven years, these have primarily involved external issues such as street lighting and garbage cart maintenance. The most significant cluster of recent complaints occurred in late 2025, with four separate reports of abandoned vehicles near the property, all of which have been closed. The record also shows only one building permit issued in the past seven years, which may indicate limited recent investment or improvements to the property. Given the building's age and these documented issues, prospective tenants should conduct thorough due diligence and consider obtaining up-to-date information on any recent developments or improvements to the property.

Risk rating

How 6952 S Cornell 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

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.
