Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6518 W Diversey Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Alejandra Machura, has been documented since its construction in 1960. The property has generated a notably high volume of 311 service requests over the past seven years, totaling 44 complaints, with the most recent cluster of issues emerging in 2026. Specifically, there have been six reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between February and June 2026, with one remaining open as of June 2026, though these external issues appear to affect the general neighborhood rather than the building itself. The building's maintenance and operational history shows minimal permitted work, with only one building permit issued in the past seven years. The disproportionate concentration of service requests related to abandoned vehicles in 2026 suggests this issue has become particularly relevant in the immediate vicinity during that period, though these occurrences are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property's documented history shows no major building code violations or safety concerns on file through October 2023, and while the service request volume is notable, most of these reports relate to community matters rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 6518 W Diversey Ave'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.
