AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 6626 N California Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Orit Marmel, appears to have a relatively uneventful recent history based on available documentation. The property, constructed in 1959, has maintained a single service request record in the past seven years, which stands out as notably low compared to many comparable properties. The sole documented service request during this period was for a pothole in the street near the property, reported to the Chicago Department of Transportation on October 17, 2024, though this street maintenance issue is not directly related to the building's condition or management. The request has since been closed, but it is worth noting that with the report date being in October 2024, this may represent the most recent update available in the system.

Risk rating

How 6626 N California 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

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.
