Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 3014 E Cheltenham in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, owned by South Shore 12 LLC, was constructed in 1966 and has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning are three unresolved building code violations from May 26, 2022, resulting from complaint-driven inspections, which suggest potential ongoing safety or maintenance problems within the building. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests, including four in the past seven years, with the most recent being a water lead test kit request from July 2025 that remains open. Two of the service requests were related to building violations, though one from March 18, 2026 was closed. Additionally, there was a 311 information-only call in March 2026 that was resolved. While the building has had only two building permits issued in the past seven years, the combination of open violations and service requests related to building conditions warrants attention to the property's maintenance history.

Risk rating

How 3014 E Cheltenham 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
14thpercentile

Out of 2804 buildings in this neighborhood, 2411 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
