Initial analysis

The property at 7822 S South Shore Drive in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood is a 24-unit residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by DDG 7822 LLC. The building's record over the past seven years shows a significant number of violations, with a total of 36 building code violations documented, including an unusually high cluster of six open violations from March 23, 2023, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections that remain unresolved as of October 2023. The building has also generated seven 311 service requests during this period, with three specifically related to building violations (two of which have been closed) and other maintenance issues including a sign repair request (currently open), and unrelated matters such as an injured animal report and a street pothole complaint, both of which have been resolved. The concentration of recent unresolved violations from 2023, combined with the building's historical pattern of violations, suggests ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges, though it should be noted that not all violations necessarily indicate immediate safety concerns, as some may pertain to administrative matters or code technicalities.

Risk rating

How 7822 S South Shore Chicago'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
