Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 6445 S Austin Ave in the Clearing neighborhood is a 1927 property currently owned by Maria Villasenor. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years is notably minimal, with only one recorded 311 service request during this period, which is quite low compared to typical building maintenance records. The sole service request on file was created on June 2, 2025, pertaining to a sign repair needed by the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) - specifically for "All Other Signs." This request is currently marked as open, though it pertains to a sign rather than any building-related issue, and is not directly related to the property's residential condition or maintenance. The building's record shows no other complaints or service requests that would impact resident experience or safety, suggesting relatively stable property conditions, though the limited data should be considered contextually within the broader understanding of building maintenance records.

Risk rating

How 6445 S Austin 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.
