AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 6548 N Washtenaw Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood was constructed in 1952 and is currently owned by Carol Oshana. The property has an unusual and concerning record from 2019, with five unresolved code violations stemming from a complaint-driven inspection conducted on August 22 of that year, all of which remain open as of the most recent data review. These violations, all originating from the same inspection date, suggest a single incident or set of related issues that prompted multiple citations. The building's violation history also includes one 311 service request related to business complaints, created on May 29, 2025, which has since been closed, though the nature and resolution of this request are not specified in the available data. The persistent open violations from 2019 warrant attention as they represent an ongoing compliance issue, while the relatively low number of 311 service requests (only one in seven years) could indicate that not all resident concerns are being formally reported through this system.

Risk rating

How 6548 N Washtenaw 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.
