Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6248 N Magnolia Avenue in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Cesar Mayorca, was constructed in 1909 and has experienced several noteworthy issues over recent years. The property currently has one unresolved building code violation from December 2021, though records show no building violations prior to this date. The building has been the subject of multiple 311 service requests in recent years, with the most concerning being two water-related issues - an open complaint about water in the basement from May 2026, and a water lead test kit request from July 2025, which suggests ongoing water quality concerns. Other recent service requests include a consumer fraud complaint from December 2025 (status open) and two tree trim requests from February 2026 that were marked as closed, though it's worth noting these requests are no longer being accepted according to city records.

Risk rating

How 6248 N Magnolia Ave 1'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.
