Unlock complete reportThe four-unit residential building at 7953 S Dr. Martin Luther King Drive in the Chatham neighborhood, owned by ISO Nordhoff Holdings, was constructed in 1998 and has been subject to several notable events over its recent history. Most significantly, there was a vacant/abandoned building complaint filed in August 2024, though this was subsequently closed. The property has experienced building violations, with a total of nine recorded over the past seven years, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building's service history includes 19 separate 311 service requests, suggesting regular interaction with city services, though the content and nature of these requests is not specified. Permit activity shows two building permits have been issued in the past seven years, with only one additional permit recorded during that same period, indicating limited recent construction or major renovation activity. While the building was constructed relatively recently in 1998, the combination of service requests, violations, and permit activity warrants attention to the property's maintenance and management history, particularly in light of the recent vacant building complaint.
