Initial analysis

The residential property at 7208 S Calumet Ave 1 in the Grand Crossing neighborhood is a 2-unit building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Ronald Webb. The building's recent record raises significant concerns, particularly with the emergence of multiple unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations as of August 2025, totaling five open violations all dated August 1, 2025. While there was one previously resolved complaint-driven inspection violation from August 2022, the current cluster of open violations suggests ongoing compliance issues. The building's recent service history shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests filed in 2025 - one related to building violations in July (now closed) and an information-only call in September 2025. The property has a documented total of 18 building violations and 2 service requests over the past 7 years, though the owner's records show higher totals with 41 violations and 16 service requests in the same period, indicating some discrepancy that warrants attention. The city's building permit records for the past 7 years show only 2 permits issued to the owner, including one permit in the past seven years for building modifications or repairs, which may require closer examination given the number of violations on record.

Risk rating

How 7208 S Calumet Ave 1'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.
