Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 7741 S May Street in Auburn Gresham, owned by Dorothy J Walker, has been in operation since 1926. The property's service request history over the past seven years shows a total of five documented incidents, with varying degrees of significance to resident well-being. The most recent issues include a water-related problem in the basement reported in October 2024, and a somewhat unusual complaint regarding a vicious animal in May 2026. There have also been two informational calls to 311 in September and December 2024, though the nature of these calls isn't specified in the records. Notably, there's an open tree planting request from July 2024 that remains unresolved as of the latest data update. The building's documented service requests are relatively few in number, though the water issue and vicious animal complaint may be of particular concern to current and prospective tenants regarding safety and maintenance conditions.

Risk rating

How 7741 S May St 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

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
97thpercentile

Out of 2843 buildings in this neighborhood, 85 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
