Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 7930 S Vernon Ave in Chatham, owned by Fathers Brothers & Son, was constructed in 1984 and has maintained a relatively low number of documented incidents over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 23 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the majority of recent activity (six out of seven total requests) occurring between March and May 2026, primarily consisting of tree debris clean-up requests. These nature-related service requests appear to be the most significant cluster of incidents on record, suggesting some challenges with tree maintenance or debris management in the vicinity. The only building permit issued in the past seven years remains unspecified in the available data. While the frequency of 311 service requests might indicate ongoing property concerns, it's important to note that all recorded incidents have been classified as closed with no documented unresolved issues, and there are no recorded safety violations or emergency incidents on file for this property.

Risk rating

How 7930 S Vernon Ave'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
80thpercentile
