Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 6162 N Melvina Ave 1 in Norwood Park, owned by the Mariette A Voyda Revocable Trust, has been consistently maintained since its construction in 1980. The property has generated a total of six 311 service requests over the past seven years, with notable clustering around tree-related issues. Most recently, in June 2026, there was a series of three open requests regarding tree emergencies, along with an open request for tree debris clean-up. Prior to these, there were two tree removal inspection requests in 2026 (one ongoing and one from April 2025), and a tree trimming request in November 2024 which has since been closed. While the frequency of tree-related service requests is unusual, all reported issues have been addressed through proper channels, with only two cases remaining open as of the current date. The building's overall service request history suggests active engagement with municipal services, though the recent spate of tree-related incidents may warrant monitoring of future maintenance patterns.
How 6162 N Melvina Ave 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
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.
Out of 892 buildings in this neighborhood, 45 are predicted to be safer.
