Initial analysis

The 7700 S Phillips property in the South Shore neighborhood is an 18-unit building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Jack Wayne. The building has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny in recent years, with a remarkable 101 building violations recorded in the past seven years, representing approximately 5.6 violations per unit. Most concerning are the seven unresolved complaint-driven building code violations recorded on September 24, 2025, which remain open as of now. The property has also generated 29 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being a street cleaning request from June 2026, which is still open. Multiple street infrastructure issues have been reported in 2026, including four separate pothole complaints filed between January and April 2026, all of which have been closed. While the building has had some permits issued (2 for the building and 8 total for the owner in the past seven years), the sheer volume of violations - constituting 201 total violations across six parcels owned by Jack Wayne - raises considerable concerns about ongoing maintenance and compliance with building codes.

Risk rating

How 7700 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

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.
