6214 N Winthrop Chicago

Edgewater, Chicago IL 60660 14052040220000 94 units · 1968

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 6214 N Winthrop building, located in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, is a 94-unit residential property constructed in 1968 and currently owned by 6214 N Winthrop LLC. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a modest number of service requests, totaling five through the city's 311 system, with only two building permits recorded during this period. The most recent service request, filed in May 2026, pertains to a pothole in the street, while the previous issues have included an injured animal report (September 2025), an information-only call (August 2025), a sanitation code violation (June 2025), and a missed garbage pickup complaint (August 2024). All these incidents, with the exception of the current open pothole complaint, have been resolved, though it's worth noting that these service requests span various community issues, most of which relate to city services rather than direct building management concerns. The building's permit activity appears limited, with only two permits issued in the past seven years, but the records do not specify their nature or impact on the building's operations or condition.

Risk rating

How 6214 N Winthrop Chicago'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
14thpercentile

Out of 1377 buildings in this neighborhood, 1184 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
