AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 7236 S Michigan Ave in Grand Crossing is a 1926 structure currently owned by Wesley Jones. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal 311 service requests, with only three incidents recorded since 2024. These requests, all of which have been closed, primarily relate to external environmental issues rather than building-specific concerns: a fly dumping complaint in October 2025, a dead animal pick-up request in September 2025, and a tree debris clean-up request in October 2024. While these incidents required municipal intervention, they appear to be related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself, and there are no recorded complaints or service requests regarding the building's internal conditions or systems. The relatively low number of service requests over this extended period suggests stable maintenance patterns, though it's important to note that the available data may not capture every aspect of the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 7236 S Michigan Ave 1St'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.
