Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6510 W Higgins Rd in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by FRJ LP, has a documented history spanning several years since its construction in 1957. The property has recorded two unresolved building code violations related to periodic routine inspections from August 20, 2020, which remain open as of the latest data. In terms of municipal service requests, there have been three documented cases in the past seven years, with the most recent incidents occurring in December 2025, involving ice and snow removal and uncleared sidewalk complaints, both of which were successfully closed. An earlier service request from November 2024 concerned a dead animal pick-up, which was also resolved. The building's relatively limited record of service requests and violations over the past seven years, with no significant safety-related incidents logged, suggests a generally stable property condition, though particular attention should be paid to the unresolved inspection violations from 2020.

Risk rating

How 6510 W Higgins Rd'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.
