Initial analysis

The 30-unit apartment building at 742 E 79th Street in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, constructed in 1935 and currently owned by 3054 N Luna LLC, has experienced a series of notable issues over recent years. Most significantly, there has been a cluster of building code violations in early 2025, with seven separate complaint-driven inspections, though records show that six of these violations were resolved, while one remains open and unresolved as of the latest data in 2025. The building has also faced persistent issues with graffiti, as evidenced by multiple service requests throughout 2025 and early 2026, with six documented cases between August 2025 and May 2026, all of which have been closed following resolution. Despite these challenges, there has been only one building permit filed under the current ownership in the past seven years. The property has a total of 36 building violations and 17 service requests on record over the past seven years, indicating ongoing maintenance and management challenges that have persisted under the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 742 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.
