Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 7722 S Emerald Ave 2 in Auburn Gresham, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by 7722 S Emerald LLC, presents several noteworthy concerns based on available records. The building has accumulated a significant number of unresolved issues over the past seven years, with a total of 21 building code violations recorded, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted on November 4, 2019. These violations remain open and unresolved, indicating ongoing compliance issues that could impact resident safety and comfort. In more recent developments, there is an active water lead testing request initiated in April 2025 that is currently open, suggesting potential concerns about water quality that may require monitoring. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one permit recorded in the past seven years, and there has been only one 311 service request during this period, though the nature of this request and its resolution status remains uncertain given the predominance of building violations on record.

Risk rating

How 7722 S Emerald 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.

Neighborhood percentile
