AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 6431 N Wayne Ave in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood, owned by Joseph Peara, has been standing since 1915. The property has maintained a relatively quiet record over the past seven years, with minimal documented activity. Only one building permit has been filed in this period, suggesting limited structural or major improvement work. The building's service request history from 2016 to 2023 shows four recorded incidents, all of which were resolved. Notably, three of these were related to street maintenance issues (potholes), all reported in 2025, while the fourth request concerned a blue recycling cart in April 2024. One of the 2025 requests, a tree trimming inquiry, was no longer being accepted by the time of submission. Given the age of the building and its long-term ownership, the relatively low number of service requests and permits might indicate stable maintenance patterns, though it's important to note that 311 records represent only a portion of the building's overall maintenance and service history.

Risk rating

How 6431 N Wayne 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
