Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6215 W Byron St in Chicago's Dunning neighborhood, owned by Erik V. Ruano, has been standing since 1927 and has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years. The property has a concerning record of five unresolved building code violations, all of which stem from complaint-driven inspections conducted on February 7, 2020, and October 27, 2020. While the exact nature of these violations is not detailed in the available records, their open status as of October 2023 suggests ongoing compliance issues requiring attention. The building's documented history also includes three 311 service requests in recent years, all of which have been resolved. These requests were for a sewer cleaning inspection (August 2025), a blue recycling cart (August 2024), and an abandoned vehicle complaint (April 2024), none of which appear to be directly related to the building's structural or habitability conditions.

Risk rating

How 6215 W Byron 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

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.
