Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7525 S Yates Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1959, is currently owned by I Stewart & Gillespie and has a relatively minimal service request history over the past seven years. The property has recorded four 311 service requests since mid-2024, with the most recent being an abandoned vehicle complaint in February 2025. The other documented incidents include a street cleaning request and information-only call in July 2024, along with a dead animal pickup request in late June 2024. All of these service requests have been recorded as closed, suggesting they were addressed by the appropriate authorities. Given the limited number of service requests and their nature (primarily relating to street maintenance and urban services rather than building-specific issues), there appear to be no significant building-related concerns on record for this property.

Risk rating

How 7525 S Yates 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

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.
