Initial analysis

The 8-unit building at 7840 S Yates in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by SSPH PORTFOLIO 1 LLC and constructed in 1961, has experienced several concerning issues over the past seven years. Most significantly, there are currently six open building code violations stemming from a complaint-driven inspection in November 2022 that remain unresolved. While the building has had only one permitted construction activity during this period, the property has accumulated a notable number of service requests to the City of Chicago's 311 system, with 39 requests linked to the owner, including three related to fly dumping incidents in 2025 and 2026, and a no water complaint in May 2026. The property has been maintained with some attention to landscaping needs, as evidenced by an April 2026 tree trim request, though this service is no longer being accepted. The building's documented issues, particularly the unresolved code violations from late 2022, warrant attention to ensure adequate housing standards are maintained.

Risk rating

How 7840 S Yates 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
14thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 2411 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
