Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 7731 S Kingston Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by Brown Bear Holdings 77, has experienced notable building management challenges over the past seven years. Originally constructed in 1924, the property has accumulated a total of 21 building violations and 22 service requests through the 311 system during this period. Most significantly, in early 2025, the building underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in multiple violations, though records indicate that all of these issues were subsequently resolved by February 18, 2025. The building has also faced recurring sanitation issues, with six documented sanitation code violations between late 2025 and 2026, including an open sanitation code violation from June 2026, and one fly dumping complaint from December 2025, although most of these earlier violations were closed. The property has been issued only three building permits in the same seven-year timeframe, which suggests limited recent investment in property improvements or maintenance. While the building has resolved multiple code violations through compliance, the pattern of sanitation-related complaints and violations raises ongoing concerns about building maintenance and resident services.

Risk rating

How 7731 S Kingston 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
