Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 7932 S Escanaba Ave in South Chicago, owned by MARCELOS GC LLC, has a documented history dating back to 1898. The property has experienced various issues over the past seven years, with 14 building code violations recorded, though the majority were resolved between October 2022 and January 2023 through permit-related inspections. The most concerning open violation is from January 2026, representing the building's most recent compliance challenge. The building has also generated multiple service requests, with eight documented through the 311 system in the past seven years, including three building-related violations (two plumbing issues) and two stray animal complaints in late 2025. The property had limited building permit activity during this period, with only one permit issued between 2017 and 2023. While many historical violations were resolved in 2022-2023, the recent open violation from January 2026 and additional building violations reported in February 2026 suggest ongoing compliance monitoring may be necessary.

Risk rating

How 7932 S Escanaba Ave 1'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
