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 6145 W 54th Street in Garfield Ridge, owned by Mendoza Invest Corp, has a documented history dating back to its 1918 construction. Most notably, the property has experienced recurring water supply issues in 2024, with three low water pressure complaints filed in July and one no water complaint in October, suggesting ongoing challenges with the building's plumbing infrastructure. These water-related issues appear to be the primary concern for the property, as they account for all service requests in the past seven years, with the exception of three information-only calls made in October 2024. The building's permit history shows only one permit filed in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available records. While the frequency of water-related complaints warrants attention, it's worth noting that there have been no reported safety violations or other significant incidents on record for this property throughout this period.

Risk rating

How 6145 W 54Th 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.
