Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6247 W Raven St in Norwood Park, owned by Nick Piolla, has been standing since 1929 and has had minimal documented issues over the past seven years. The property has generated five 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. The building's maintenance record shows three resolved building-related issues, including two violations (plumbing and general) in early 2026 and a tree trimming request from late 2024, though the latter was submitted when the city was no longer accepting such requests. Additionally, there was a street-related concern regarding a pothole in March 2026, which was also resolved. Of particular note is an open tree removal inspection request from August 2025, which, if still unresolved, could potentially impact both safety and property aesthetics. While the overall number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this age and size, the nature of the plumbing and building violation in early 2026 suggests some recent maintenance concerns that may be worth monitoring.

Risk rating

How 6247 W Raven St 1'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.
