Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6445 N Oakley Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Nighat Y Raja, has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved building code violations and service requests over the past several years. Most notably, there are currently six open complaint-driven inspection violations as of February 27, 2026, as well as one additional unresolved violation from September 2025. This represents a significant portion of the total 18 violations recorded against the property in the past seven years. Despite this, only four 311 service requests have been made in the same timeframe, with the most recent being a fly dumping complaint and a finance parking code enforcement review in March and February 2026 respectively. The building's history also includes a plumbing violation reported in July 2024, which was subsequently resolved. While the building has been standing since 1922, the concentration of recent and unresolved violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the property.

Risk rating

How 6445 N Oakley 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.
