Initial analysis

The 28-unit residential building at 446 E 79th Street in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Curve Development LLC, has a concerning record that requires attention. Built in 1928, this property has accumulated 38 building violations over the past seven years, with a particularly striking cluster of seven unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded in June 2026. The building's maintenance history shows multiple safety and habitability concerns, including a rat infestation (rodent baiting complaint) reported in March 2026, water in the basement (May 2024), and graffiti (October 2024), though these issues have since been resolved. Additionally, there are open service requests from 2026, including a sidewalk inspection and multiple building violation reports from late May 2026. The property has also experienced various maintenance issues in previous years, such as a sign repair request (March 2025) that was resolved. The concentration of unresolved violations and service requests, particularly relating to routine inspections and potential safety hazards, suggests significant ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.

Risk rating

How 446 E 79Th 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
0thpercentile
