Initial analysis

The 18-unit residential building at 7253 S Evans in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Chicago Residents LLC, has been a subject of notable concern in recent years. Built in 1922, this property currently shows 61 building violations and 25 service requests in the past seven years, with particularly troubling patterns emerging in 2025-2026. Most concerning are seven open complaint-driven inspection violations recorded on February 2, 2026, along with ongoing plumbing violations reported in June 2026 and a documented plumbing violation from February 2026 that has since been closed. The building has also experienced multiple other building violations and service requests throughout 2025 and early 2026, with a weed removal request being the exception among service requests. While the property has had five building permits issued in the past seven years, the volume and nature of recent violations and service requests suggest management challenges, though it's important to note that some violations from 2025-2026 have been resolved, as evidenced by closed service requests.

Risk rating

How 7253 S Evans Chicago'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
