Initial analysis

This report covers the building at 6123 S Major Ave 1 in the Clearing neighborhood, a property owned by BMO Harris Bank NA and constructed in 1957. The building is currently experiencing four unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations as of January 2024, which is significant given their potential impact on resident safety and comfort. The property has had a total of 11 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent three requests occurring in 2026 for tree debris clean-up and garbage cart maintenance, both of which have been resolved. The building has experienced recurring issues with both alley and street lighting, with three separate alley light complaints and one street light complaint recorded in May 2025, all of which have been addressed and closed. While the historical violation and service request record shows some pattern of maintenance and safety concerns, the most pressing current issue appears to be the recent open violations from early 2024, which merit particular attention given their unresolved status.

Risk rating

How 6123 S Major 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.

Neighborhood percentile
