AI summary

The two-unit building at 6428 N. Magnolia Avenue in Rogers Park, constructed in 1926, has a concerning track record over the past seven years. The property, currently owned by "TAXPAYER OF," is registered as having 2,228 building violations during this period, which is an unusually high number for a two-unit structure. The building's maintenance and safety oversight has been notably active, with 8,731 311 service requests filed, though a majority of these (8,716) are likely related to issues at other properties under common ownership or management, given the relatively limited nature of the 311 requests directly associated with this specific address. Among the three documented service requests for the current address, two were related to water issues (one regarding basement flooding and another concerning water lead testing), while the third was a pothole complaint in the street. The property has undergone 338 building permits in the same timeframe, and while there have been 10 environmental enforcement actions and 33 environmental complaints, these appear to reference broader ownership patterns rather than direct issues with the individual building. The building does show some compliance issues, with three documented house share violations, though it's unclear if these were resolved or if they indicate ongoing concerns. In summary, while there have been some recent water-related issues reported at the property, many of the documented violations and complaints appear to be aggregated from other properties under the same ownership rather than reflecting conditions at this specific building.

Risk rating

How 6428 N Magnolia 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.
