AI summary

The six-unit residential building at 6147 N Claremont Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood is a 1926 structure currently owned by Melvin Oster. The building's recent record (over the past seven years) shows minimal activity, with only two reported 311 service requests, both related to abandoned vehicle complaints in February 2026. These vehicle-related complaints, which were closed promptly, occurred just days apart from each other and do not directly relate to the building's condition or tenant experience. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of building permits, with only one permit issued in the past seven years, though no details on the nature of this permit are provided in the available data. Overall, the building's recent history shows relatively low levels of reported issues or required permits, with the bulk of documented activity being unrelated to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 6147 N Claremont 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.
