Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 7237 S Yale Ave in the Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Kings Legacy Prop, has a mixed record of building management since its construction in 1908. The property, which is 1 of 3 parcels owned by the same entity, has accumulated a total of 26 building violations and 26 service requests over the past seven years, with 7 building permits pulled during this period. Of particular concern is a cluster of five unresolved complaint-driven building violations from May 2020, which remain open to date, along with an additional unresolved violation from August 2019. Recent activity shows improved responsiveness to maintenance issues, with several complaints from 2025 being addressed and closed, including building violations, sanitation code violations, and sidewalk clearing issues from February 2025, as well as a fly dumping complaint from February 2026 that was subsequently closed. The property has also experienced exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a tree debris cleanup request in July 2024, though this was resolved promptly. The building's history demonstrates a pattern of code violations that require attention, particularly focused around 2020, though the resolution of recent service requests indicates some level of improved maintenance response from ownership.

Risk rating

How 7237 S Yale 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
