Initial analysis

The three-story, nine-unit residential building at 7844 S Jeffery in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1958, has a concerning pattern of unresolved issues and complaints over the past several years. The most pressing current concerns include multiple open building code violations and plumbing-related service requests from April 2026, as well as an open sign repair request from June 2026. The building has experienced persistent problems in recent years, with seven open violations recorded in October 2021 and a total of 24 violations documented over the past seven years. These recent building code violations and plumbing issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. While the property owner has submitted one building permit in the past seven years, the overall lack of resolved violations and the presence of multiple open service requests indicate significant unresolved maintenance issues. Historical data from the broader ownership records show a staggering total of 2,228 building violations and 8,731 service requests across all properties owned by the current taxpayer since 2016, suggesting systemic maintenance challenges at multiple properties under this ownership.

Risk rating

How 7844 S Jeffery Chicago'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
