Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 7954 S Manistee Ave in the South Chicago neighborhood is a 125-year-old property currently owned by Metropolitan Bank. The building's recent history, spanning the past seven years, shows minimal activity with only two documented 311 service requests, both filed on June 3, 2025. These requests, which were both subsequently closed, pertained to vacant/abandoned building issues and weed removal. While the age of the building and its limited recent service requests might suggest relative stability, the nature of the 2025 complaints - specifically regarding vacancy and exterior maintenance - could indicate potential challenges with property upkeep and occupancy status, though it's worth noting that both issues were addressed and closed by city services. The lack of documented service requests prior to 2025 could imply either strong property management or limitations in available service records for earlier years.

Risk rating

How 7954 S Manistee 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.
