AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 6226 W Irving Park Road in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Jozsef Krautheim, was constructed in 1955. The property has a relatively low record of city service requests over the past seven years, with only four documented incidents, all occurring within the first quarter of 2025. These recent requests have primarily related to standard municipal services, including three recycling pick-up requests between January and November 2025, and one street light pole damage complaint in February 2025, all of which have been marked as closed. The limited number of service requests and their nature suggests minimal recent issues affecting the building or its immediate surroundings, with the most significant being the street light pole damage complaint, though this was an external infrastructure issue rather than a building-specific problem.

Risk rating

How 6226 W Irving Park 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

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.
