Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6829 S Crandon Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood is a century-old structure, built in 1914 and currently owned by Shirley Outlaw. The property has generated a total of eight 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being a reported injured animal in June 2026, followed by a sign repair request in May 2025. Two abandoned vehicle complaints were filed in November 2024, and there have been several other service requests including a tree planting request (still open as of September 2024) and a blue recycling cart request (closed July 2024). Notably, these service requests primarily relate to municipal services rather than building-specific issues, and there has been only one building permit application recorded in the past seven years, though the nature of this permit is not specified in the available data. The pattern of service requests suggests regular interaction with city services, though primarily for neighborhood and municipal infrastructure matters rather than concerns directly related to the building's condition or safety.

Risk rating

How 6829 S Crandon 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

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.
