Initial analysis

The 25-unit residential building at 7242 S Constance in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by 5812 Properties, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. Most concerning are three unresolved building code violations from February 2022, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection. The building has generated a total of 13 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent requests in 2026 including a sanitation code violation, a tree emergency, and a vicious animal complaint, all of which have been closed. Additional service requests in 2025 included a water lead test visit and an abandoned vehicle complaint, both of which were also resolved. While the building has had 678 total building violations and 563 service requests under its ownership, it's important to note that these figures represent aggregated totals across 24 parcels. The property has also obtained 31 building permits and recorded one environmental complaint in the past seven years, though specific details about the nature of these permits and complaints are not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 7242 S Constance 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
9thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 2552 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
