Initial analysis

The 33-unit residential building at 6133 S Cottage Grove in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by WCN Preservation Associates, has experienced notable challenges in recent years since its construction in 2011. As of October 2023, there are seven open complaint-driven inspection violations recorded as of February 2026, all of which remain unresolved. The building's regulatory history shows a concerning pattern of building code violations, with a total of 27 violations documented over the past seven years. Additionally, there have been 12 service requests through the 311 system in the same period, with six of these related to building violations between August and November 2025, though all these earlier requests have since been closed. The most recent building inspection violations, which are particularly significant given their open status, were all recorded on January 30 and February 17, 2026, suggesting an ongoing and perhaps escalating pattern of code compliance issues that warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 6133 S Cottage Grove 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.
