Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 7300 S May Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Badu Investments LLC, has experienced significant and ongoing maintenance challenges since at least 2024. Constructed in 1924, this property has generated 29 building violations and 18 service requests over the past seven years, with the owner recording a total of 54 violations and 52 service requests across three parcels. Most concerning are the six unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in February 2026, all of which remain open. While there were also three plumbing-related service requests in early 2026 and multiple other building violations documented between 2025 and 2026, one potentially serious flag is the single "Scofflaw Violation" noted in the owner's records, indicating non-compliance with city requirements. The building's documented issues span various categories, though the most recent patterns suggest recurring plumbing problems. The total number of violations and service requests presents a concerning picture of persistent maintenance issues, particularly in the building's later years.

Risk rating

How 7300 S May Chicago'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
