Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 7512 S Coles Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by D Konstantopoulos, has experienced some concerning recent issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there are six open, unresolved building code violations as of June 2026, all resulting from a complaint-driven inspection. While the building has had some service requests in the past seven years, these have primarily concerned non-building related issues such as abandoned vehicles (two instances in 2025-2026), and animal-related matters (both injured and stray animals in 2024-2025). The only building permit on record in this seven-year window was issued in 2025, and the property has accumulated a total of nine building violations and six 311 service requests during this period. It's worth noting that while the majority of historical complaints were relatively minor and non-building related, the recent cluster of open building code violations stands out as a significant current issue for the property.

Risk rating

How 7512 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.
