Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7231 S Rhodes Ave in the Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Louis Flowers Jr., was constructed in 1921 and has had a relatively minimal documented history over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of nine 311 service requests in this period, with the majority occurring between late 2024 and late 2025, primarily related to municipal service issues such as garbage and recycling management. Notably, there appears to have been some recurring challenges with waste management in mid-2025, including a missed garbage pick-up complaint, which may indicate occasional difficulties with municipal services in the area. The property has also experienced two tree-related incidents requiring attention in late 2024, including both emergency situations and debris clean-up needs. While these environmental maintenance issues have been documented through official channels, they represent the building's most significant recorded service interactions over the specified period. The building's permit record shows only two permits issued in seven years, though the specific nature and relevance of these permits are not detailed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 7231 S Rhodes 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
46thpercentile
