Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-story, 27-unit residential building at 6331 S California in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, built in 1925, has a concerning record of unresolved violations and service requests over recent years. Most notably, there are currently six open building violations from 2020 and 2024-2025 that were initiated through complaint-driven inspections, and a significant backlog of unresolved building violations, with records showing 160 violations associated with the property under its current owner. The building's maintenance history shows limited proactive efforts from ownership, with only seven building permits issued over the past seven years. The property has experienced recurring issues with pest control, evidenced by multiple rodent baiting complaints in 2025-2026, though these specific complaints have been addressed and closed. Additional service requests include a building violation report and a graffiti removal request in 2025, both of which have been closed.

Risk rating

How 6331 S California 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
0thpercentile
