Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6538 N Ashland Ave, located in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, has had remarkably few recorded incidents over the past seven years, with only two 311 service requests and one building permit on file. The property, built in 1919 and currently owned by Michael Tutaj, has maintained a relatively stable record with minimal maintenance or incident history. The two service requests were both external to the building's structure and related to public space issues: a closed e-scooter parking complaint from June 2026 and a tree emergency reported and resolved in June 2025. The building permit record shows only one permit application within the seven-year window, though the specific nature and outcome of this permit are not detailed in the provided data. While the limited number of reported issues may suggest good property maintenance, the sparse record of permits and service requests should be interpreted with caution, as it represents only the documented history available through public records up to October 2023.

Risk rating

How 6538 N Ashland Ave 2'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.
