West Ridge, Chicago IL 60659 13011100280000 2 units · 1956

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6224 N Whipple St 1 in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Melissa Medrano Pattig, was constructed in 1956 and has a relatively low volume of reported issues over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of six service requests through the 311 system, with all incidents occurring between March and May 2024, suggesting a concentrated period of activity shortly before mid-2024. The most significant cluster of complaints pertains to street lighting issues, with three separate reports of non-functioning street lights submitted between March and April 2024, two of which were directed to the Department of Transportation and one to the Alderman's office. A no water complaint was registered in July 2024, representing a potentially serious utility disruption, though this appears to be an isolated incident based on available data. The most recent documented service request is from May 2025 regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint, which was unrelated to building conditions or services. While the building's overall service request history is relatively minimal, the pattern of street lighting issues and the water service disruption in 2024 warrant attention to common area and municipal infrastructure in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 6224 N Whipple St 1'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.
