Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7223 S Coles Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by Carmen Chaney, has experienced several notable incidents and ongoing issues in recent months. Constructed in 1903, this property currently shows ten building violations on record over the past seven years, with the most significant concerns being multiple open complaint-driven inspection violations from July 18, 2024, which remain unresolved as of this writing, compared to one building permit issued during the same seven-year period. On the same day, two 311 service requests were made: one relating to a dead animal pick-up that has since been closed, and a second information-only call that also received closure. The recent clustering of violations and service requests in July 2024 suggests a period of particular concern for this property, with the majority of issues remaining unresolved, though it's worth noting that one building violation from the same date has been complied with and resolved.

Risk rating

How 7223 S Coles 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.
