Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 7204 S Cornell Ave in South Shore, owned by Manga D Voddi, is a 1923 building that has experienced minimal municipal service activity over the past seven years. The property's service record shows a cluster of tree debris clean-up requests in mid-2025 and late-2024, with three such requests occurring within an 18-day period in June 2025 and December 2024. Additionally, there was one request for a blue recycling cart in December 2024, which was promptly addressed and marked as closed. While the building's service request history shows regular municipal engagement, particularly concerning tree debris issues, there are no recorded incidents that would indicate safety concerns or directly impact resident quality of life. The relatively low number of service requests over this period suggests limited maintenance issues or resident concerns requiring municipal intervention.

Risk rating

How 7204 S Cornell 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.
