Initial analysis

The 24-unit residential building at 6947 S Crandon in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood is a 1950 property currently owned by PBS Apartments LLC. The building has experienced some regulatory scrutiny over the past seven years, with two documented building code violations – one from late 2024 and another from October 2020 – both of which remain unresolved as of the latest data. The property has also generated four 311 service requests in the past seven years, including a plumbing violation in December 2025, an alley light out complaint in February 2026, and a building violation reported in February 2026, all of which were closed. Additionally, there was a closed service request regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint from March 2026, though this was likely unrelated to the building's condition or management. The presence of multiple unresolved building code violations, particularly those reported in 2024 and 2020, may warrant attention, though it's important to note that not all violations necessarily indicate safety concerns, as some may relate to administrative or procedural matters.

Risk rating

How 6947 S Crandon 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

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
15thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 2383 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
