Chicago, Chicago IL 60649 20251130290000 2 units · 1920

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 property at 7238 South East End Avenue in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1920, currently owned by William Kellum. Over the past seven years, the building has generated 22 service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most recent being an open request for tree removal inspection dated April 24, 2026. The majority of the recent service requests, all from 2025, have been related to tree-related issues, including multiple debris clean-up requests in April 2025. There have also been instances of waste management concerns in 2025, with two fly dumping complaints and a garbage cart maintenance request, though all of these issues have been resolved according to their closed status. The building and its surroundings appear to be experiencing ongoing challenges with vegetation maintenance and waste management, particularly evident in the cluster of service requests during the spring and summer months of 2025.

Risk rating

How 7238 S East End Ave 1'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.
