Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7627 S Lowe Ave in Auburn Gresham, owned by Quentin Ellis, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months. Most notably, on October 3, 2023, three separate inspection violations were recorded, two of which were complaint-driven and one related to permit requirements - all of which remain unresolved as of now. The building's 311 service request history shows a notable spike in activity in March 2024, with four separate complaints or service requests during that month alone, including concerns about sewer cleaning, water on the street, and an abandoned vehicle. While one request for garbage cart maintenance from July 2024 has been closed, the most recent 311 request from August 2024 regarding a water lead test kit remains open. The property's record indicates a building permit was issued within the past seven years, though the specific nature and date of this permit is not detailed in the summary. The combination of unresolved violations and open service requests, particularly those related to water infrastructure, suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 7627 S Lowe 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.
