Initial analysis

The 16-unit residential building at 7433 S Colfax in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Pablo Chun Yu Wong, has experienced a notable pattern of building-related issues in recent years. The property, which comprises nine parcels, has accumulated 53 building violations over the past seven years, indicating ongoing compliance challenges. Most concerning are the recent plumbing violations recorded in July 2025, together with another building violation on the same date, and a separate plumbing issue from April 2025 - these multiple violations suggest persistent maintenance and infrastructure problems. While the building's permit activity appears minimal with only three permits pulled in the past seven years, it's worth noting that the property has generated 74 service requests through the 311 system during this period, indicating frequent tenant-reported issues or concerns. While the building's historical timeline shows it was constructed over a century ago, the concentration of recent plumbing violations and building violations in particular warrants attention to the property's current condition and management response patterns.

Risk rating

How 7433 S Colfax 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

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.
