Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7437 S Wentworth Ave 1 in the Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Gloria G. Smith, has been standing since 1913 and has generated a total of 18 documented 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of incidents occurred between July and October 2025, with five separate service requests including a tree emergency, an abandoned vehicle complaint, and critical health and safety concerns such as a rodent baiting complaint and a fly dumping complaint. These specific issues, particularly the rodent and fly dumping complaints, suggest potential ongoing sanitation challenges in the immediate vicinity. Earlier in the same period, there was also a tree debris clean-up request, indicating potential maintenance concerns regarding vegetation around the property. The 311 information only call in November 2025 appears to be of minimal significance compared to the other reported issues. While all listed service requests have been closed, the concentration of incidents in the summer and fall of 2025, particularly those relating to health and safety, merits attention while reviewing the property's recent service history.

Risk rating

How 7437 S Wentworth Ave 1'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.
