Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6244 N Artesian Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood is a 1923 structure currently owned by Kenny Phan. Over the past seven years, there have been three documented 311 service requests directly related to the building, with an additional request associated with the owner's other parcel, bringing the total to four. The most recent service request, filed on September 26, 2025, was for a sanitation code violation and has since been closed. Prior to that, there were two closely-timed nuisance animal complaints, one filed on May 24, 2024, and another on July 18, 2024, both of which have also been closed. While the building's service request history is relatively limited, the pattern of nuisance animal complaints in mid-2024 and the subsequent sanitation code violation in 2025 may indicate challenges related to property maintenance and resident quality of life. The most recent request regarding sanitation violations, being the latest on record, warrants particular attention as it represents the building's most current documented issue.

Risk rating

How 6244 N Artesian 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
