Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6041 N Talman Avenue in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Kevin Geyer, has a relatively clean record since its construction in 1930. The property has been subject to minimal official scrutiny over the past seven years, with only one building code violation noted during a periodic routine inspection in November 2021 that remains open and unresolved as of October 2023. The building has generated seven 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent complaint regarding fly dumping made in June 2026 (recognized as an oversight in date referencing), and a recycling cart issue reported in May 2026 that is still open. Other service requests that have previously been addressed include a street pothole (February 2026), city vehicle sticker violation (August 2025), a tree emergency (August 2025), and garbage cart maintenance (July 2025). The relatively low number of building violations and service requests over this extended period suggests basic compliance with maintenance requirements, though the open violation from 2021 merits attention in terms of resolution status.

Risk rating

How 6041 N Talman Ave 3'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
