Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 7824 S Ridgeland Ave in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood is a historically significant property dating back to 1907, currently owned by Sam 37 Inc. The master building record shows this multi-family dwelling has undergone various maintenance and service requests over the past several years. The most recent activity, as of August 2025, involves two closed requests related to finance parking code enforcement reviews. Earlier in 2024, there were some concerning incidents when the property experienced potential water issues, with two separate requests for leak inspections made in March of that year, which were subsequently resolved. Additionally, the building faced an unusual but handled situation in March 2024 involving the pickup of a dead animal. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of ten 311 service requests under the current ownership, including five requests in the most recent seven-year period, suggesting a relatively limited but notable interaction with municipal services.

Risk rating

How 7824 S Ridgeland Ave I'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.
