Initial analysis

The four-unit, 1920 building at 7845 S Peoria St in Auburn Gresham, currently owned by Joe Jackson, has shown concerning patterns of unresolved issues in recent years. Most notably, there are multiple open building code violations from January and September 2025 categorized as complaint-driven inspections, suggesting ongoing compliance concerns. While the building has had a total of nine building violations on record over the past seven years, the most pressing issues appear to be recent and unresolved. The property has also generated twelve 311 service requests in the same seven-year period, with the most recent being a tree emergency in June 2026, which remains open. Other recent service requests primarily relate to waste management issues, including multiple reports of garbage cart maintenance needs and blue recycling cart issues between January and May 2026, with varying statuses between open and closed. These service requests, while not directly related to building safety, indicate ongoing maintenance and operational challenges facing the property.

Risk rating

How 7845 S Peoria 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
