Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6240 N Artesian Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by T Nguyen & T Ho, was constructed in 1925 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are three unresolved complaint-driven building code violations from August 2025, which represent the building's only active violations on record. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2024-2025. These requests include five sanitation code violations between April and August 2024-2025, a building violation complaint in May 2025, and a city vehicle sticker violation in August 2024. The building's permit activity over this period remains minimal, with only four permits recorded in the same seven-year timeframe. The clustering of sanitation-related issues suggests recurring maintenance challenges, while the recent building code violations indicate potential safety or compliance concerns that warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 6240 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.
