AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 6247 N Washtenaw Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood is a 1926 structure currently owned by Christine Vu. The building has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only a single service request logged through the city's 311 system during this period. This recorded incident, filed on May 14, 2026, was related to a no water complaint, though it should be noted that this complaint has since been closed. Given the building's age, dating back nearly a century, and its multi-unit configuration, the limited number of documented service requests over this extended period could be viewed as positive, though the relatively recent water-related issue stands out as noteworthy.

Risk rating

How 6247 N Washtenaw 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.
