Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7918 S Bennett Ave in Chicago's South Chicago neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1921 and currently owned by Adrienne Davis. The property's recent history, spanning the last seven years, shows a concerning recurring issue with water-related problems, evidenced by three consecutive water-on-street complaints filed in 2024, 2025, and most recently in June 2026, all of which were eventually closed. These water-related incidents, occurring with increasing frequency over this period, suggest an ongoing infrastructure challenge that has persisted for multiple years. Apart from these service complaints, the building's record is relatively sparse, showing only one building permit filed in the past seven years and no other types of service requests, which may indicate limited recent maintenance or modifications. The repetition of water-related incidents represents the most significant pattern in the building's recent history, warranting attention to the apparent water management issues affecting the property's surroundings.

Risk rating

How 7918 S Bennett 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.
