Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 6253 W Hyacinth Street in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by Jack & Netti Suomi, has been standing since 1934 and has experienced minimal documented issues over the past seven years. The building's maintenance and service history shows three recorded 311 service requests, with the most recent being a street pothole complaint in July 2025. Prior to this, there were two other documented incidents: a routine information request to 311 City Services in June 2025, and a parking code enforcement inquiry in November 2024, both of which were appropriately closed. The limited number of service requests over this extended period, and the fact that none of the recorded issues directly pertain to the building's condition or safety systems, suggests generally stable and well-maintained property performance.

Risk rating

How 6253 W Hyacinth St'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.
