Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7934 S Drexel Ave in the Chatham neighborhood, owned by Nathaniel Ramsey, has been standing since 1923. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations as of June 2026, all logged on the same date. The violation history also shows an earlier building violation complaint in May 2026, which has since been closed. Additional service requests include an open tree planting request from November 2025 and a closed informational inquiry from June 2024. Over the past seven years, the building's total violation count stands at three, matching the number of 311 service requests, while records show only one building permit being issued during this period.

Risk rating

How 7934 S Drexel 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

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.
