Initial analysis

The 14-unit building at 6101 S Kedzie in Chicago Lawn, owned by Louis A Cano, has a significant history of maintenance and compliance issues over the past seven years. Of particular concern is the cluster of unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded on September 16, 2022, which remain open as of October 2023. The building's record shows a total of 23 building violations and 30 311 service requests specifically for this address during the past seven years. Comparing to the owner's total portfolio, which includes 30 parcels, the violations are more pronounced, with 273 building violations and 661 service requests across all properties. While most recent service requests have been for external issues such as graffiti removal (with four such requests in 2026 alone, all resolved), historical data shows a range of concerns, including a street pothole and an abandoned vehicle complaint in late 2025. The building has had minimal permitted work done on record, with only one building permit issued for the specific address and 10 across all properties in the past seven years. Additionally, there have been four environmental complaints against the owner during this period, though none of these appear to be specifically linked to the 6101 S Kedzie address.

Risk rating

How 6101 S Kedzie 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

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.
