Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7817 S Cregier Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by Linda Ford, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, particularly in 2023. Two unresolved complaint-driven building code violations were recorded on May 12, 2023, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. Additionally, there is an open 311 service request from June 13, 2026, regarding an alley light outage, which appears to be an error in date entry as it is in the future relative to the current date. This service request represents the only 311 complaint in the last seven years. While the building's violation and service request history over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents overall, the recent open violations from May 2023 warrant attention as they deviate from the otherwise minimal complaint history.

Risk rating

How 7817 S Cregier Ave'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.

Neighborhood percentile
44thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 1570 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
