Initial analysis

The property at 6149 N Milwaukee Ave in Norwood Park is a four-unit residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by Henry Roman and comprising two parcels of land. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively few violations and complaints, though there are two notable open permit-related inspection violations from March 31, 2021 that remain unresolved. The property has generated a total of 15 service requests under the owner's name during this period, with the majority (five) occurring in 2025, all specifically related to abandoned vehicle complaints. Other service requests include a closed graffiti removal request in May 2026 and a closed street light outage complaint in January 2026. The building has an even more distant environmental complaint record dating back to 1997, concerning hazardous materials, though no recent environmental issues have been reported. While the number of violations and service requests isn't excessive for a property of this age, the existence of two unresolved permit-related violations from 2021 and the clustering of abandoned vehicle complaints in 2025 are worth noting as potential areas of concern.

Risk rating

How 6149 N Milwaukee 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.
