7300 S Union Ave

Englewood, Chicago IL 60621 20281140160000 6 units · 1913

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 six-unit residential building at 7300 S Union Ave in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Reuben Billingslea and constructed in 1913, has generated 15 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. Most recently, in 2026, there has been a cluster of street and municipal service-related requests including three closed cases in May (street cleaning, pothole complaint, and missed garbage pick-up), an April tree emergency, and a March graffiti removal request, with one sign repair request from April 2026 still marked as open. The recent service requests from 2026 predominantly relate to municipal services affecting the immediate vicinity of the building rather than building-specific issues, with no recorded complaints about the building's condition or internal systems during this period.

Risk rating

How 7300 S Union 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
13thpercentile

Out of 4934 buildings in this neighborhood, 4293 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
