Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7627 S Carpenter Street in Auburn Gresham, owned by Paula Ohliger, has been under observation for several concerning issues over the past seven years, with the most significant recent activity occurring in 2026. Currently, there are six unresolved building code violations documented as of June 2026, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections on the same date. The building's maintenance history shows a relatively high volume of service requests, with 25 calls to 311 in the past seven years, and an alarming cluster of recent issues in early 2026, including an open tree debris clean-up request from May 2026, a vacant/abandoned building complaint in May 2026, and garbage cart maintenance issues in April 2026. Rodent control appears to be an ongoing concern, with two documented rat complaints in late 2025 and early 2026 that were resolved. The owner has recorded two building permits over the same seven-year period, which is notably low for a multi-unit residential property, and there are indications of multiple parcels under the same ownership, totaling seven. While some service requests have been resolved, the current cluster of open code violations and recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and safety challenges in the building's management.

Risk rating

How 7627 S Carpenter St'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
39thpercentile
