Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 6412 N Hamilton Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood is a 1923 property currently owned by Khan Klim. Over the past seven years, the building has experienced a concerning pattern of building code violations, with four unresolved complaint-driven inspection citations recorded in August and November 2024-2025, representing the most significant and persistent issues in the building's recent history. In addition to these violations, there have been 16 service requests logged through the 311 system during the same period, with the majority of these (five requests) related to abandoned vehicle complaints in 2025, all of which have been resolved. Other service requests include a sanitation code violation and two building violation complaints, both of which have been closed. Notably, there has only been one building permit filed in the past seven years, which may indicate limited recent renovation or maintenance activity. The concentration of recent open building code violations and relatively low number of building permits suggests potential ongoing maintenance or safety concerns, though it's important to note that the resolution status of these violations may change over time.

Risk rating

How 6412 N Hamilton 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.
