Initial analysis

The property at 7823 S Bennett Ave is a 6-unit, 1924 vintage building located in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, currently owned by Nathaniel Bell. The building's recent record shows minimal activity, with only one documented building violation in the past seven years, dating back to December 2019 from a complaint-driven inspection that remains unresolved as of October 2023. The property has generated three 311 service requests in this period, including two in 2024 related to streetscape issues (an abandoned vehicle complaint in September and a street light outage in May) that were both resolved. The building's historical record from 1996 mentions an environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping, though it predates the current ownership and is not directly relevant to the present condition of the building.

Risk rating

How 7823 S Bennett 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

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.
