Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 7938 S Calumet Ave in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Theodore Allen, is a 1929 building that has generated a total of eight 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent activity, occurring in 2026, involved two separate garbage cart maintenance requests made in May and February respectively, both of which have been closed. Prior to this, there was a cluster of service requests related to tree planting in July 2024, with four separate requests submitted and subsequently closed, suggesting a coordinated effort to enhance the property's green space at that time. The relatively low number of service requests over this seven-year period, totaling only eight, including five related to municipal services (garbage and trees), indicates minimal recorded tenant issues or building concerns.

Risk rating

How 7938 S Calumet Ave 2'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
