Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 6236 S Parkside in Chicago's Clearing neighborhood, owned by James McAuliffe, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are three open complaint-driven inspections as of September 2024, all related to unspecified violations that have yet to be resolved. The building has generated a total of 19 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in 2026, including open requests for building violations, sewer cave-ins, and alley sewer inspections. Between 2025 and 2026, there were also several other municipal service interactions, including a closed alley light outage complaint and a snow removal request. Historical records indicate that the building had one environmental complaint regarding hazardous materials in 2012, which was resolved by April of that year. Given the concentration of recent open violations and service requests, particularly the unresolved nature of the current inspections as of September 2024, these issues appear to be the most significant in terms of current resident impact.

Risk rating

How 6236 S Parkside Chicago'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
5thpercentile
