Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1929 residential building at 7729 S Aberdeen St in Auburn Gresham, owned by Darnell Harris, has experienced a notably concerning pattern of issues over recent years. Most significantly, there are currently five unresolved building code violations as of October 2025 that were all assigned on the same date through complaint-driven inspections, suggesting multiple simultaneous concerns. The property has also been the subject of various health and safety issues, with 311 service requests indicating a persistent rodent problem, as evidenced by three rat complaints between July and November 2025, along with a stray animal complaint in August and a vicious animal complaint in May of the same year. While there was one permit-related building code violation from November 2020 that was resolved, the current cluster of open violations represents the most serious ongoing concern. The building's record shows a total of seven building violations and eleven 311 service requests over the past seven years, though most of these occurred within the most recent two-year period, particularly focusing on the second half of 2025.

Risk rating

How 7729 S Aberdeen 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
15thpercentile
