Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1326 E 72nd Street in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by Ganem Properties LLC, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, on June 13, 2025, six separate complaint-driven building code violations were documented and remain open and unresolved as of October 2023, suggesting ongoing compliance concerns that could impact resident safety and comfort. In addition to these current violations, the building has been the subject of various service requests over the past two years, including four 311 reports between late 2024 and late 2025. These service requests encompass a range of maintenance issues, including a street light outage (resolved in November 2025), plumbing violations (resolved in May 2025), general building violations (resolved in May 2025), and a rodent baiting/rat complaint (resolved in November 2024). The combination of unresolved building violations and multiple service requests over this period indicates there may be ongoing maintenance challenges within the property, though it's important to note that all resolved service requests were addressed by the city services department.

Risk rating

How 1326 E 72Nd St'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.
