Initial analysis

The 17-unit residential building at 1455 W 79th Street in Chicago's Auburn Gresham neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Efficient & Comfortabl, presents several noteworthy concerns based on recent building records. Most significantly, there are three unresolved complaint-driven building code violations as of March 31, 2025, which represent the building's first known building violations in at least seven years. The property has generated eleven 311 service requests over this period, with the most recent being two tree trim requests in March and January 2026, a graffiti removal request in June 2025, and a pothole complaint in April 2025. Prior to these, a vacant/abandoned building complaint was logged in November 2024, and a building violation was reported in August 2024, both of which have since been resolved. The building's history includes an environmental complaint from January 2001 regarding illegal dumping, though this predates the current ownership and construction of the existing structure.

Risk rating

How 1455 W 79Th 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
5thpercentile
