Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6101 S Kostner Ave in the West Lawn neighborhood, owned by Vidal Camacho, was constructed in 1959 and has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. The most concerning findings are two open building code violations stemming from a complaint-driven inspection conducted in December 2019, which remain unresolved as of the current date. The property has experienced multiple pest control challenges, particularly with rodent-related issues, as evidenced by three separate rodent baiting/rat complaints filed between April and June 2024, all of which were closed, though these recurring problems may indicate an ongoing pest management challenge. More recent maintenance concerns include an open sanitation code violation request from March 2026 and a tree planting request from June 2025. The property has also faced some aesthetic challenges, evidenced by a closed graffiti removal request from December 2025. While the building has had several service requests, the persistence of the 2019 code violations and the pattern of pest-related issues stand out as the most significant challenges from a habitability perspective.

Risk rating

How 6101 S Kostner 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.
