Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 1933 residential building at 6018 W North Ave in Galewood, currently owned by Henry Choi, has experienced several significant issues over the past seven years, with particular concern regarding unresolved violations. Most notably, there are six open complaint-driven inspection violations as of April 2026, all filed on the same date, suggesting a potentially serious and systemic issue that the owner has yet to address. While there have been some resolved service requests through the city's 311 system, including reports of graffiti, garbage cart maintenance, and a building violation in late 2024, the most pressing concern remains the current open violations. The property has a total of 21 building violations and 24 service requests on record over the past seven years, though only one building permit has been filed during this period. The concentration of service requests in late 2024, including multiple garbage cart maintenance issues and a blue recycling cart request, indicates there may be ongoing concerns with waste management systems in place at the property.

Risk rating

How 6018 W North 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
