Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7747 S Phillips Ave in the South Shore neighborhood was constructed in 1923 and is currently owned by Phillips Capital Invest. The property's record over the past seven years reveals several significant concerns, most notably a cluster of unresolved building code violations from April 2021, which were generated through complaint-driven inspections - six separate violations that remain open as of the latest data. Recent activity shows three 311 service requests, including two fly dumping complaints from 2024 and 2026 respectively (the 2026 request was closed), while the most recent interaction recorded is a pet wellness check request from April 2026 that remains open. The building's permit activity is minimal, showing only one permit filed within the seven-year review period. The concentration of open violations from 2021 and the pattern of waste-related service requests suggest ongoing maintenance and environmental cleanliness issues, though it's worth noting that the building's overall activity level in terms of service requests and violations appears to have decreased in recent years compared to 2021.

Risk rating

How 7747 S Phillips 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.

Neighborhood percentile
