Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7241 S South Shore Drive in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood was constructed in 1922 and is currently owned by CTLTC 5065310. The property has generated a moderate level of municipal service requests over the past seven years, totaling 12 documented interactions with city services. While many of these requests are routine maintenance matters such as yard waste pick-up and weed removal, a concerning pattern has emerged in 2026, with three recent open service requests including complaints about vacant/abandoned conditions, tree debris needing clean-up, and another yard waste pick-up request. This cluster of unresolved issues, particularly the vacant/abandoned building complaint, which is relatively uncommon compared to the property's historical service request patterns, warrants attention as it may indicate emerging concerns about the building's current condition and maintenance status. Prior to this year, the building's service requests were primarily related to seasonal yard maintenance, including three closed yard waste pick-up requests in late 2025 and a completed weed removal request from August 2025.

Risk rating

How 7241 S South Shore Dr'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.
