Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 1920 South Shore building at 7400 S Phillips, currently owned by Capital Fund Investment, has experienced a notable number of incidents over the past seven years, with particular attention required to recent developments. Most concerning are the six open building code violations as of February 19, 2026, resulting from a complaint-driven inspection that warrant immediate attention. The building's history shows 36 documented building violations and 32 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, though the majority of these issues appear to be resolved, as indicated by their "closed" status. Recent 311 service requests from 2026 include various matters such as plumbing violations, public way inspections, and a coyote interaction complaint, though these appear to be routine municipal service calls rather than significant building-related issues. The building has also incurred two scofflaw violations in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. While the property has required some permits over the past seven years (six in total), the nature and scope of the permitted work is not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 7400 S Phillips Chicago'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
6thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 2636 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
