Unlock complete reportThe six-unit, 1926 multi-family building located at 7948 S Langley Ave in the Chatham neighborhood is currently facing multiple unresolved issues, with the most significant being six open, complaint-driven inspection violations recorded on March 20, 2023. These ongoing violations represent the most recent and potentially concerning issues on record, though their specific nature is not detailed in the available data. The building's history over the past seven years shows a total of 11 building violations, indicating a pattern of code compliance challenges, along with three 311 service requests that were processed through city services. The service requests included two reports of injured animals (one in June 2025 and another in February 2026) and a tree debris clean-up request from August 2025, all of which have since been closed. The property has had only two building permits issued in the past seven years, which is relatively low for a residential building of this size and age. The current and historical data suggests the need for attention to multiple unresolved code violations, which could impact resident safety and comfort, though the specific nature and severity of these violations would require further investigation through official channels.
