Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6125 S Kostner Ave in the West Lawn neighborhood, owned by Mark Styrzc ula and constructed in 1959, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, in April 2024, the property underwent three complaint-driven inspections that resulted in identified violations, though all were resolved promptly. The building's recent history shows a pattern of handling winter weather challenges in late 2025, with three snow-related service requests regarding object/dibs removal recorded in December 2025, all of which were closed. The property has also seen various other municipal service requests, including complaints about abandoned vehicles and city vehicle sticker violations, though these are more related to street management than the building itself. While the building has had three documented code violations in the past seven years, it's worth noting that all recent inspection-related issues were resolved, demonstrating responsiveness to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 6125 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.
