Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 6223 S Major Ave in Chicago's Clearing neighborhood, owned by Vincent T Lawless, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1916. Over the past seven years, there have been three 311 service requests associated with the property, all of which have been resolved. The most recent incident, recorded in March 2026, involved an abandoned vehicle complaint, while there was a rodent baiting/rat complaint in July 2024 and another abandoned vehicle complaint in May 2024. While the frequency of service requests is relatively low for a three-unit building, it's worth noting that two out of the three recorded incidents pertained to abandoned vehicles in the vicinity of the property, occurring within a two-month period in mid-2024. The rodent issue reported in July 2024, which is typically associated with environmental conditions and waste management, may be of particular relevance to resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 6223 S Major 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

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.
