AI summary

The three-unit multifamily building at 7826 S Cregier Ave 2, located in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, is a 1923 construction currently owned by Charles W Foster. Over the past seven years, there have been three documented service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most recent two from June 2026 still pending resolution - these concerns focus on an alley light outage and a tree emergency. Prior to these current issues, there was one earlier service request from August 2025 regarding e-scooter parking, which has been resolved. While the building has experienced some infrastructure-related service calls in recent years, particularly regarding exterior lighting and tree maintenance, it's worth noting that only three service requests have been recorded over a seven-year period for this three-unit property, which is relatively minimal compared to some other residential buildings.

Risk rating

How 7826 S Cregier Ave 2'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.
