AI summary

The three-story residential building at 7408 S Jeffery Blvd in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood is a 127-year-old structure owned by James Stewart and situated on two parcels of land. The building's documented history over the past seven years reveals a total of 11 service requests to the city's 311 system, with the most recent requests occurring in late 2025 and focusing on garbage cart maintenance and leak checks. The building's record shows some ongoing concerns with waste management, as evidenced by multiple garbage cart maintenance requests in late 2024 and December 2025. The property's violation record indicates nine building violations over the past seven years, though specific details of these violations are not provided in the available data. The building's age and history suggest it has weathered 127 years of Chicago's variable climate, but the limited recent service requests primarily related to waste management and infrastructure checks may indicate the building's basic systems are relatively stable, while also highlighting some areas of recurring maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 7408 S Jeffery Blvd'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.
