Initial analysis

The property at 6012 S Albany Ave is a two-unit residential building located in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Gerardo Avila. During the past seven years, there have been 11 documented 311 service requests associated with this address, with the most significant concentration of issues occurring in 2025. Of particular concern are four instances of water-related problems, with two separate complaints about basement water issues in July and August 2025, suggesting potential moisture or drainage challenges within the building. The property has also experienced recurring waste management issues, with three missed garbage pick-up complaints recorded in 2025 (most recently in December 2025) and one in January 2025, indicating possible problems with adherence to waste collection schedules or procedures. In November 2024, there was one request related to Finance Parking Code Enforcement, though the specifics of this issue are less clear compared to the other documented problems. While this two-flat building has maintained its original structure since 1922, the recent pattern of service requests suggests emerging concerns related to both environmental maintenance (water issues) and municipal service coordination (missed garbage pick-ups) that may affect resident comfort and satisfaction.

Risk rating

How 6012 S Albany 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

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
