Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6131 S Ellis Ave in the Woodlawn neighborhood, constructed in 1912, is currently owned by CTLTC 8002380913 and has been on record with a total of eight 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent incidents, from May 2026, include complaints about an abandoned vehicle and a stray animal, both of which have been resolved. Three service requests in 2025 stand out: one regarding rodent issues in August (which was notable as it was filed on the same day as a tree emergency), and additional rodent-related concerns in October 2024, indicating a possible recurring pest control issue in the vicinity. The building has also experienced two nuisance animal complaints, one filed in November 2024 and another in April 2026, suggesting occasional challenges with local wildlife or pet management in the area. While all reported issues have been closed, the data indicates particular attention might be needed regarding pest control and animal-related disturbances in the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 6131 S Ellis Ave 2'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
