Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7919 S Ellis Ave in the Chatham neighborhood, owned by ANNAS LLC and constructed in 1916, has had several concerning issues over the past seven years. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved building code violations that were all recorded on January 30, 2020, following a complaint-driven inspection. The building's maintenance and compliance record shows continuing challenges, with multiple 311 service requests related to water issues on the street, particularly evident in 2026 with three closed complaints between January and May. Of particular concern are two open complaints from February 2026 regarding unauthorized construction work and lack of proper building permits, suggesting ongoing regulatory compliance issues. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one permit recorded in the past seven years, which may indicate limited formal construction or maintenance work.

Risk rating

How 7919 S Ellis 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.
