Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7645 S South Shore Drive, owned by Charles Szymanski, has been exhibiting concerning patterns of unresolved issues since 2025. The most pressing concerns are five open complaint-driven inspection violations as of October 31, 2025, indicating potential regulatory compliance problems that remain unaddressed. The building's maintenance history over the past seven years shows a total of 12 service requests through the 311 system, though most of these have been resolved. These requests include various infrastructure and environmental issues, such as two tree emergencies (one still open as of June 2026), a pothole complaint, sewer cleaning inspection, and a water issue on the street - all of which were successfully closed. While the building's age (constructed in 1891) is notable, the recent and persistent nature of the open violations demands particular attention, as they represent the current state of the building's regulatory compliance, leaving several safety and habitability questions unanswered.

Risk rating

How 7645 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.

Neighborhood percentile
