6158 S Greenwood Chicago

The 18-unit residential building at 6158 South Greenwood in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Wolcott Real Property, has a substantial history dating back to its 1901 construction, with a particularly notable increase in activity over the past seven years. The building has accumulated a total of 237 building violations during this period, indicating consistent maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges. Of particular concern are the recent water-related issues, with three water-in-basement complaints logged between January and March 2026, suggesting ongoing moisture management problems. The property also experienced plumbing violations in February 2026, and has a documented history of abandoned vehicle complaints and a stray animal incident in July 2024. While the building's management has initiated 12 building permits in the past seven years, which may indicate attempts at addressing some of the building's issues, the sheer volume of violations (237) and the recent clustering of water-related problems suggest ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges. The building's address has generated a total of 282 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, encompassing various issues beyond the most recent water concerns, though a single environmental complaint is notably less frequent compared to other properties in similar datasets.
