Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7922 S Dorchester Ave in the Avalon Park neighborhood is a 107-year-old property currently owned by Emily Lofton. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows an exceptionally low incidence of service requests, with only one recorded 311 call during this period. This solitary service request, made in May 2024, was classified as an "Information Only" call to City Services and was promptly closed without indicating any particular issues with the property. The minimal number of service requests on record, especially for a building of this age, suggests either very few maintenance issues or potentially incomplete documentation, though it's important to note that not all building matters necessarily require or result in formal service requests.

Risk rating

How 7922 S Dorchester Ave Hse'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.

Neighborhood percentile
