Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7253 S Bennett Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, managed by Third Coast Realty, was constructed in 2008 and has maintained a relatively low volume of municipal service requests over the past seven years. The building's documented service requests, totaling 15, have primarily consisted of external neighborhood issues rather than building-specific problems. Recent records from 2025-2026 show three complaints regarding abandoned vehicles, a missed garbage pick-up, an inoperative street light, and a dead animal removal request, all of which were appropriately addressed and closed by city services. Notably, there are no recorded complaints or service requests related to the building's internal systems, maintenance, or resident services, which indicates either successful building management or minimal issues requiring municipal intervention. The frequency and nature of external complaints suggest typical urban neighborhood challenges rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 7253 S Bennett 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.
