Edgewater, Chicago IL 60660 14051150160000 2 units · 1940

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6230 N Broadway St in Edgewater, owned by The Somsak Kagswast RE and constructed in 1940, has experienced a notable pattern of service requests and violations over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 26 service requests, with the most recent activity indicating current concerns about water quality (with an active lead test kit request as of April 2026) and rodent issues (a rat complaint filed in April 2026). Multiple service requests in recent years have included consumer fraud (March 2026), abandoned vehicles (September 2025), and graffiti removal (December 2024-2024). The building has three documented violations in the past seven years and has received one building permit during the same period. Looking further back, an air pollution complaint was recorded in February 2003, though this is now quite outdated. The concentration of service requests in recent years, particularly regarding water quality and rodent issues, may be of particular note to current and prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 6230 N Broadway St'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
44thpercentile

Out of 1377 buildings in this neighborhood, 771 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
