The most recent activity from June 2026 indicates ongoing concerns with waste management at the property, with open requests for both blue recycling and garbage cart maintenance services. Prior to these, there were several infrastructure and maintenance concerns including a fly dumping incident (now closed), a street pothole complaint (closed), and a graffiti removal request (closed) on May 16, 2026.

Risk rating

How 7847 S Langley 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

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.
