Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 7321 S Stewart Ave in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Willie Benjamin, has a concerning record of unresolved building violations from February 2022, with four open complaint-driven inspections noted on record. While there were two building code violations from January and December 2019 that were resolved, the persistence of the 2022 violations suggests ongoing regulatory concerns. The property has been subject to a total of 9 building violations in the past seven years, with the owner having a total of 14 violations across two parcels, which indicates a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges. In terms of service requests, there have been two documented issues in 2025 regarding street lighting, both of which have been closed, though these are municipal infrastructure issues rather than building-specific concerns. Finally, the building's permit activity shows minimal response to these compliance issues, with only one permit filed in the past seven years, which raises questions about necessary maintenance and improvements.

Risk rating

How 7321 S Stewart 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
