Initial analysis

The 10-unit residential building at 7309 N Damen Avenue in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, owned by Vinod K Vats, was constructed in 1961 and has been subject to multiple concerning incidents over the past several years. Of particular note, there are six unresolved building code violations from a complaint-driven inspection conducted on September 4, 2019, which remain open as of the most recent update. While the building has accumulated a total of ten building violations over the past seven years, the most recent incidents occurred in late summer 2025, including a vacant/abandoned building complaint in August and an abandoned vehicle complaint in July, both of which were resolved through the 311 service request system. The presence of multiple unresolved building code violations from 2019, combined with the recent vacant building complaint, suggests potential ongoing maintenance or occupancy issues that may affect resident quality of life, though it's worth noting that the abandoned vehicle complaint from 2025 appeared to be unrelated to the building's condition or occupancy status.

Risk rating

How 7309 N Damen 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
