Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7741 S East End Ave in the South Shore neighborhood, owned by Ricky Bell, has a history dating back to its construction in 1925. The property has experienced relatively few documented issues over the past 7 years, with two building code violations recorded, both stemming from complaint-driven inspections on September 22, 2022, that remain open and unresolved as of October 2023. The building's service request history shows two reported incidents: a garbage cart maintenance issue in July 2025 (closed) and a nuisance animal complaint in April 2024 (also closed). Looking further back into the building's history, there was an environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping in July 2007, though this pre-dates the current ownership period. While the number of violations and complaints is relatively low given the building's age, the presence of two unresolved code violations from 2022 warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 7741 S East End 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

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
38thpercentile
