Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 6226 S Kolmar Ave 1E in Chicago's West Lawn neighborhood is a two-story residential structure built in 1967 and currently owned by Edward Ruiz. The property's documented service request history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two recorded 311 complaints. Both requests have been addressed and closed; one was for an alley light outage in March 2026, which occurred well after the usual five-year analysis window, and the other was a tree planting request from August 2024. Given the limited number of reported issues, particularly during a period when many buildings experience various maintenance challenges, the record suggests relatively few reported problems at this address.

Risk rating

How 6226 S Kolmar Ave 1E'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.
