Auburn Gresham, Chicago IL 60620 20312040280000 2 units · 1912

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 two-unit building at 7944 S Hermitage Ave in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, constructed in 1912, is currently owned by Conklin Developers and has been subject to significant regulatory attention over recent years. While the property has only two 311 service requests in the past seven years, there is a concerning record of 32 building violations during the same period, which suggests persistent maintenance or regulatory compliance issues. The two recent 311 service requests include a missed garbage pick-up complaint in December 2025 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in June 2024, though both cases were closed without indication of resolution outcome. Of historical note, there was an asbestos-related work order documented in December 2000, which would have required appropriate remediation procedures if the work was conducted as per regulations. With the building's age and the relatively high number of violations recorded, prospective tenants should investigate whether these compliance issues have been resolved in subsequent inspections.

Risk rating

How 7944 S Hermitage 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
