AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 7428 S Chappel Ave 1 in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Anderson Owens, has a relatively limited record of service requests over the past seven years, totaling four documented incidents. The most recent request, still open as of June 2026, pertains to recycling pick-up services. Prior to this, the building experienced a sequence of three closed service requests between April and September 2024, which included a sewer cleaning inspection request initiated through the Alderman's office, a street light outage complaint, and a missed garbage pick-up complaint. While these maintenance and service-related issues are not uncommon in older buildings, particularly in an urban environment, the relatively low number of service requests over this period suggests limited recurring problems. The timeline of service requests indicates active engagement with city services to address routine municipal service matters.

Risk rating

How 7428 S Chappel 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

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.
