South Chicago, Chicago IL 60649 21311010020000 8 units · 1926

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 2447 E 79th Street in the South Chicago neighborhood, owned by Khamis Imsaih, has experienced various maintenance and structural issues since its construction in 1926. The most recent service request, filed in September 2024, concerned concerns about the property being vacant or abandoned, though this complaint has since been closed. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated a total of 16 documented violations, suggesting persistent regulatory compliance challenges. While there has been only one building permit filed during this period, the imbalance between the number of violations and permits might indicate limited proactive maintenance or improvements. Interestingly, there has only been one 311 service request in the past seven years, which is notably low compared to the number of violations recorded. This discrepancy between service requests and violations could suggest underreporting of issues or concerns. The property is listed as having three parcels under the ownership of Khamis Imsaih, though the significance of this multi-parcel ownership structure is not immediately clear from the provided data.

Risk rating

How 2447 E 79Th 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
6thpercentile

Out of 2611 buildings in this neighborhood, 2454 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation
