Initial analysis

The 3-unit residential building at 7829 South Yates Boulevard in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by Thompson & Doss, has experienced several notable incidents over its recent history. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in 2022, when six complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded, all of which have been resolved. There appears to be a concerning trend in 2026, with multiple service requests including two dead animal pick-up requests in June, a water issue reported in April (still open), and a sewer cave-in inspection request in September (now closed). These more recent 2025-2026 incidents suggest potential infrastructure and public health concerns in the building's immediate vicinity. The building's record also shows historical attention to environmental factors, with an air pollution work order complaint recorded in 2009, though this is long outside the current pattern of issues. The property has maintained compliance with addressing all building code violations when cited, though the persistence of recent service requests indicates ongoing concerns that are still being addressed.

Risk rating

How 7829 S Yates Blvd'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
