7800 S Champlain Chicago

Grand Crossing, Chicago IL 60619 20274280160000 10 units · 1925

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 ten-unit residential building at 7800 S Champlain in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by 7800 INC, has been in operation since 1925 and has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with only 15 documented through the 311 system. The most notable recent issues affecting the property include two consecutive rodent-related complaints in late 2025 (November and December) and a street lighting problem reported in July of the same year. The building has also experienced seasonal maintenance challenges, evidenced by an ice and snow removal request in January 2026 and a pothole complaint in April of the same year. The property appears to have limited parking-related issues, with only one finance parking code enforcement review request filed in May 2026. While the building's documented service requests are relatively few in number, the clustering of pest-related complaints and exterior maintenance issues in late 2025 and early 2026 suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges during that period.

Risk rating

How 7800 S Champlain 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
10thpercentile

Out of 2750 buildings in this neighborhood, 2475 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.
