Unlock complete reportThe three-unit residential building at 7841 S Bennett Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by Sheila K McCaskill, has experienced several noteworthy events over the past seven years. Most concerning is the cluster of open, unresolved building code violations from September 2021, with six separate violations recorded on the same date through complaint-driven inspections. While the total count of building violations in this period stands at 12, these particular violations from 2021 represent the only unresolved issues currently on record. The property has generated five 311 service requests in total over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. These requests primarily focused on tree emergencies (two calls in April and March 2026), information inquiries (two calls in January 2026), and garbage cart maintenance (one call in May 2025). It's worth noting that all 311 service requests were resolved upon closure, indicating appropriate responsiveness to these routine maintenance matters, though they were not directly related to building safety or habitability concerns.

How 7841 S Bennett 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.
Out of 2795 buildings in this neighborhood, 2096 are predicted to be safer.
