Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6134 S Fairfield Ave 1 in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, owned by Valerie Young, has a documented history of building code violations and service requests over the past seven years. Most notably, as of July 2025, there are six open, unresolved violations resulting from a complaint-driven inspection conducted on July 10, 2025, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building's documented service requests include several concerning issues, with four building-related violations filed between February and June 2025, including at least one no permit and construction violation that was recorded on June 13, 2025. Additionally, there was a water lead testing visit request made on January 22, 2025, which remains open as of this date. While there was one tree trimming request and a general 311 information call that have been resolved, the concentration of building violations and open water testing requests suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns within the property. The building, constructed in 1923, has experienced these documented issues primarily over the past two years (2025), with no recorded violations or service requests prior to 2023, though this doesn't necessarily imply that none existed before this period.

Risk rating

How 6134 S Fairfield Ave 1'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.
