Initial analysis

The property at 7321 S Kenwood Ave is a two-unit residential building located in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Karaja Group LLC. The building's record over the past seven years shows significant compliance issues, with 94 building violations documented, representing a substantial concern for resident safety and building maintenance. The property has generated a total of 133 service requests through the city's 311 system, including a recent cluster of water-related incidents in March 2026, with multiple checks for leaks and street water complaints logged during that period. While there are some positive indicators in the form of 11 building permits issued (potentially indicating authorized improvements or repairs), the most pressing current issue is an open complaint from June 2026 regarding a vacant lot cleanup. An environmental complaint was also recorded in the past seven years, though the nature and resolution of this issue is not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 7321 S Kenwood 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.

Neighborhood percentile
