Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6226 N Wayne Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood is a century-plus property built in 1909, currently owned by Nancy J Cation. The building's documented service history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests recorded during this period. The most recent request, made in October 2025, was for a water lead test kit, which was subsequently closed. This request indicates the building's participation in necessary water safety monitoring, though it should be noted that the request occurred after both requests appeared to be erroneously dated two years in the future. Prior to that, in January 2025, there was a tree debris clean-up request which was also closed. Both service requests represent relatively routine maintenance matters and there are no recorded incidents or complaints regarding resident safety or building conditions over this period. The building's service request history suggests regular property management attention with prompt resolution of municipal service needs, though the limited number of requests could also indicate minimal issues requiring city intervention.

Risk rating

How 6226 N Wayne 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.
