Initial analysis

The property at 7953 S Wolcott in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood is a 9-unit building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by 79TH AND WOLCOTT LLC. The building's recent record shows significant unresolved issues, with four open building code violations stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted on March 31, 2023, which collectively represent the most pressing concerns regarding resident safety and building conditions. The property has experienced multiple service requests over the past seven years, including eight 311 calls, though the majority are not current or directly related to immediate habitability concerns. Recent 311 requests include a closed plumbing violation, a sanitation code violation, and a clean vacant lot request from 2025, while other resolved issues from 2024 involved tree debris removal and weed management. One request from 2025 regarding the Shared Cost Sidewalk Program remains open, though this is not directly related to building conditions. The concentration of recent violations from March 2023 suggests ongoing compliance challenges that may affect resident conditions, while the variety of service requests indicates various maintenance and environmental issues affecting the property and its surroundings.

Risk rating

How 7953 S Wolcott 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
