Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 three-unit residential building at 7225 S Woodlawn Avenue in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Kelso Randolph, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most concerning is an open tree removal inspection request from March 2025, following two documented tree-related service requests earlier that year - one regarding tree debris clean-up in August and another emergency situation in October. More recent issues include complaints about vacant/abandoned building conditions and fly dumping in May and October of 2025, respectively. While there has been one building permit issued in the past seven years, the relatively low number of service requests (five in total) might indicate incomplete reporting or limited responsiveness to building issues. The primary focus of concerns appears to be external, particularly regarding trees and environmental maintenance, though the vacant building complaint raises potential interior property condition questions.

Risk rating

How 7225 S Woodlawn 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.
