AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 6214 N Lakewood Ave in Edgewater, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Hittler B Rocha & Erik, has had relatively few service requests on record over the past seven years, with a total of nine 311 service requests. The most recent service requests from 2026 include a closed porch inspection request and two tree emergency incidents reported in April (one through the Alderman's office and the other through Streets and Sanitation). In late 2025, there were two pothole complaints recorded in November and September, both of which have been closed. Notably, there is currently an open sewer cave-in inspection request from August 2025, which warrants attention as it represents an ongoing infrastructure concern. The building's service request history indicates no significant pattern of recurring issues, but the age of the structure combined with the relatively limited number of service requests could suggest either proper maintenance or underreporting of issues, given the building's century-plus age.

Risk rating

How 6214 N Lakewood 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.
