Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 7829 S Winchester Ave in Auburn Gresham, owned by Maple Real Estate LLC, has a concerning record since 2019. The 1927 structure has incurred a total of 38 building violations over the past seven years under the current ownership, with six of those occurring in the last seven years specifically relating to the three-unit property itself. Notably, there are multiple open, unresolved building code violations from June 27, 2019, as well as more recent unresolved violations from February 9, 2026. The property has generated a total of 40 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent two being reports of injured animals in late 2025, though these incidents do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management. It's worth noting that the building's permit activity appears minimal, with only two permits filed in the past seven years, suggesting limited documented improvements or maintenance work.

Risk rating

How 7829 S Winchester Ave 02'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
