Unlock complete reportThe six-unit residential building at 7801 S Burnham Ave in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, managed by Pep Properties LLC, has been through a notable series of events over the past several years. Built in 1914, this property has accumulated a significant record of building code violations, with 66 documented cases in the past seven years, and 63 of these violations occurring within the most recent seven-year period being specifically filed against the building itself. Almost all of these violations have been addressed and resolved, with a cluster of seven complaint-driven violations recorded in August 2024 being promptly complied. The property has also generated substantial municipal engagement, with 43 service requests made through the 311 system over the same seven-year period, including multiple business complaints and infrastructure-related issues. Recent activity shows ongoing concerns, including an open business complaint from May 2026 and two tree-related service requests from September 2025 (one of which remains open). The building's permit activity shows limited development or maintenance work, with only one building permit specifically attributed to the property in the past seven years, compared to a total of nine permits across two parcels owned by Pep Properties LLC. The accumulated data suggests a building that has faced numerous regulatory challenges, though recent violations appear to have been consistently addressed when brought to attention.

How 7801 S Burnham 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
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.
Out of 2795 buildings in this neighborhood, 2404 are predicted to be safer.
