AI summary

The six-unit residential building at 7744 S Jeffery Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by Joyce T Wells, was constructed in 1926 and has a relatively minimal record of service requests over the past seven years, with only three incidents reported through the 311 system. Most recently, in April 2026, there was a closed building violation complaint, and prior to that, in January 2026, an open request related to the Shared Cost Sidewalk Program was filed. The only other documented incident was a closed stray animal complaint from October 2024. Given the limited number of service requests on record, particularly for a building of this age, this property presents a relatively low number of reported issues over this time frame, though the most recent building violation and open sidewalk program request warrant particular attention as the only active service request in the system.

Risk rating

How 7744 S Jeffery 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.
