Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7114 South Drexel Avenue in the Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by George I Bata, has a notable record of building code violations and service requests over the past seven years. The most recent building permit-related violation from January 2025 was resolved, while there are currently three open complaint-driven violations from May 2024, and four additional unresolved violations from June 2021, indicating a concerning pattern of ongoing compliance issues that have persisted over multiple years. In terms of service requests, the only recorded incident was a tree trimming request from February 2025 that has since been closed, representing a relatively minor maintenance matter compared to the building's more serious code violation history. The structure, built in 1893, and its documented issues suggest potential challenges regarding building maintenance and resident safety, though the nature and specifics of the violations are not detailed in the available records.

Risk rating

How 7114 S Drexel 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.
