Edison Park, Chicago IL 60631 09364150160000 6 units · 1999

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 6-unit residential building at 6640 N Harlem Ave in the Edison Park neighborhood, constructed in 1999 and currently owned by 6640 N HARLEM LLC, has maintained a relatively low incidence of municipal service requests over the past seven years. The property, which contains one total parcel, has had only three recorded 311 service requests during this period, suggesting either effective property management or minimal service needs. The most recent service requests, both dated April 29, 2025, were related to tree-related issues - one being an emergency situation and the other concerning debris clean-up, both of which were processed through the Streets and Sanitation Department and the Alderman's office respectively. Prior to these, there was a street cleaning request made in July 2024 that was handled through 311 City Services. Notably, none of the recorded service requests relate to building safety or maintenance issues, indicating no significant resident safety concerns in the available records.

Risk rating

How 6640 N Harlem 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
14thpercentile

Out of 206 buildings in this neighborhood, 177 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
