AI summary

The 26-unit building at 7942 S Rhodes in Chicago's Chatham neighborhood, owned by Windy City Landlord, has a documented history dating back to its 1926 construction. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 14 service requests, with nine originating from the 311 system directly related to the building. The most recent service requests in 2025 were primarily focused on external issues affecting the property environment, including multiple water-related complaints on the street (August and March), tree debris cleanup (September), and an abandoned vehicle complaint (April). A fly dumping complaint was also addressed in July 2025. Of particular note is an open sidewalk inspection request from March 2025, which may warrant attention as it potentially relates to safety and accessibility concerns. The building's documented service request history suggests ongoing management of both routine maintenance and environmental challenges in the immediate area, though the relatively small number of complaints over seven years could indicate stable building conditions, pending verification of all reported issues through other channels.

Risk rating

How 7942 S Rhodes Chicago'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.
