Initial analysis

The 17-unit residential building at 6500 N Leavitt in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by 6500 N LEAVITT LLC, has been standing since 1927 and has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most notably, there are currently four unresolved building code violations related to periodic routine inspections from May 2023, indicating ongoing compliance issues that remain outstanding as of the latest data. Additionally, a more recent complaint-driven inspection from September 2020 also resulted in unresolved violations. The property has generated 10 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent requests in 2025-2026 including various infrastructure-related issues such as potholes in the street and alley, a sewer cave-in, and a street light pole door missing, all of which have been resolved. While these external infrastructure issues have been addressed, the outstanding building code violations from 2023 and 2020 warrant attention, as they represent the most recent and potentially significant concerns related to the building's internal conditions and safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 6500 N Leavitt Chicago'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.
