Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 6153 N Broadway St in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Waterfront Properties and dating back to 1907, has experienced several significant events in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple periodic routine inspections in 2021 and a recent permit-related inspection in October 2023, all of which were resolved in compliance. The building has faced recurring environmental challenges, with four noise complaints in September-October 2025 and two construction-related complaints in 2023-2020, though most were resolved or found not to be violations. Between 2014-2018, there were multiple administrative hearings regarding process equipment operation instructions and construction site cleanliness issues, resulting in fines totaling $5,000, all of which were marked as "LIABPLEA" or "DEFAULT."

Risk rating

How 6153 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.
