Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 6247 N Artesian Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Patricio Merchan, has a documented history spanning nearly a century since its construction in 1924. The property's recent service request history shows minimal building-specific issues over the past seven years, with only five documented 311 service requests, though the owner has generated a total of 43 service requests across various categories. The most recent requests from 2025-2026 primarily relate to public service matters rather than building conditions, including two abandoned vehicle complaints, a pet wellness check, and waste management issues involving recycling and garbage carts. The building's official records indicate nine total building violations over the past seven years, though the specific nature and resolution status of these violations are not detailed in the provided data. While the frequency of service requests is notable, most recent issues appear to be related to street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems, and there is no indication of any serious safety or habitability concerns in the available records.

Risk rating

How 6247 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

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.
