Initial analysis

The property at 7635 S South Shore Drive in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1902, currently owned by Building Block Invest and with a single parcel ownership structure. Over the past seven years, there have been minimal service requests on record, with a total of eight 311 service interactions. The most recent service request as of 2026 was regarding an injured animal and a street pothole complaint, both of which have since been resolved. Notably, there is currently an open request from January 2026 for a water lead test kit, which warrants attention given its potential impact on resident safety and water quality. Other recorded incidents include a missed garbage pick-up in July 2025 and a 311 information call in August 2025, though these are less significant in terms of resident impact. Two street pothole complaints were filed in 2024 and 2026, both of which were resolved, indicating some attention to neighborhood infrastructure issues.

Risk rating

How 7635 S South Shore Dr'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.
