Initial analysis

The 7549 South Kingston building in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood is a 24-unit residential structure that was constructed in 1924 and currently owned by 7549 Kingston LLC. The property has experienced significant regulatory and maintenance issues over the past seven years, with a total of 62 building violations recorded, including seven open, unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations from April 2026. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of issues, particularly in the last months of 2025 and early 2026, with multiple plumbing violations recorded in December 2025, a vacant/abandoned building complaint in March 2026, and multiple animal-related complaints including a vicious animal complaint in February 2026. The building's documented problems extend beyond violations, as evidenced by 15 311 service requests in the past seven years, though only one building permit has been recorded during this period, suggesting limited observed improvements or maintenance work. The frequency and severity of these issues, particularly the unresolved violations, indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident safety, though it's important to note that not all violations may directly impact resident safety or comfort.

Risk rating

How 7549 S Kingston 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
4thpercentile
