Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6849 W Imlay St in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by Maria Thanugundla and constructed in 1913, has experienced significant recent activity that warrants attention. As of October 2023, there are currently five open building code violations related to complaint-driven inspections from May 2026, and one additional open building code violation from June 2024. The building's recent history has been marked by multiple infrastructure concerns, with two open sidewalk inspection requests from August 2025 still awaiting resolution. The property has also generated several community service requests, including a Sanitation Code Violation in February 2026 and while there have been some resolved issues such as a pothole complaint in June 2025 and a snow-uncleared sidewalk complaint in February 2025, these indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has recorded a total of 14 building violations and 8 service requests in the past seven years, along with 3 total parcels associated with the ownership. Notably, there have been only two building permits issued in this period, which seems relatively low given the number of violations and service requests on record.

Risk rating

How 6849 W Imlay St'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
