Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 6555 N Lakewood Avenue in Rogers Park, owned by Kathleen Sheehy, is a 1914 structure that has experienced several significant issues in recent years. The most pressing concern is a cluster of unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded in 2024 and 2025, which remain open as of October 2023. While there have been some resolved violations during complaint-driven inspections in May 2025, the presence of multiple open violations suggests ongoing compliance concerns. The building has generated a total of 14 building violations and 19 service requests through 311 over the past seven years, with the owner personally initiating 29 service requests, most of which appear to be routine or informational in nature. The property has received only one building permit in this seven-year period, which may indicate limited proactive maintenance or improvements.

Risk rating

How 6555 N Lakewood 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.
