Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6212 W Irving Park Road in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Marcin Makowski, has been standing since 1955. The property has generated five documented 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026 and the earliest in 2024. The service requests primarily relate to municipal services and infrastructure, including three separate instances involving blue recycling carts (two requests in 2025 and one in 2026), an alley sewer inspection request in February 2025, and a garbage cart maintenance request in January 2025. Notably, there was also an alley lighting issue reported in July 2024. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building over this timeframe, the nature of these requests suggests typical municipal service and infrastructure maintenance matters rather than any building-specific concerns. All reported issues have been marked as closed, indicating they were resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 6212 W Irving Park Rd Gardn'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.
