Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6929 S Artesian Ave in Chicago Lawn, owned by Erick Melgarejo, has been facing several ongoing concerns in recent years. As of October 2023, there are two unresolved building violations from April 2025 related to complaint-driven inspections, adding to a total of five building violations recorded over the past seven years. While three violations from June 2022 were resolved, the recent open violations suggest continuing issues requiring attention. The property has generated 22 service requests through the 311 system over the same period, with the most recent being a tree emergency reported in May 2026. The building appears to be grappling with significant tree-related concerns, as evidenced by multiple tree-related service requests, including an open tree emergency and an open tree removal inspection from late 2025, following a closed tree emergency in December 2025 and a closed tree trim request from October 2025. Additionally, there was a rodent baiting/rat complaint addressed in October 2025, which was closed, representing the only pest-related issue on record.

Risk rating

How 6929 S Artesian 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

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
