Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7258 S Lafayette Ave in the Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago, owned by Augusting Osunde, has been part of the city's records since its construction in 1904. Over the past seven years, the building has maintained a relatively clean record with only one building code violation, which occurred in August 2019 regarding a permit-related inspection, though this has since been resolved. In terms of municipal service requests, there have been 24 incidents recorded in the same period, with the majority of recent complaints (from April to June 2026) focusing on street maintenance issues including multiple potholes, a sidewalk inspection, and other municipal services like dead animal removal and missed garbage collection. While these service requests indicate some ongoing infrastructure and service challenges in the immediate vicinity, they appear to be more related to city services than building-specific issues, with no recent complaints directly impacting the building's habitability or safety. The most recent service request regarding a sidewalk inspection from June 2026 remains open, though it's worth noting that some of these service requests, particularly the Abandoned Vehicle Complaint from May 2026, were resolved relatively quickly.

Risk rating

How 7258 S Lafayette Ave 2'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.
