Woodlawn, Chicago IL 60637 20143100280000 18 units · 1901

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 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.

Risk rating

How 6158 S Greenwood 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
5thpercentile
