Initial analysis

The 35-unit apartment building at 6128 S Woodlawn in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, managed by Cagan Management Group, has experienced significant building code violations and service requests over the past seven years since its construction in 1929. The most pressing current concerns include three unresolved building code violations from August 2025, along with an additional unresolved periodic routine inspection violation from March 2025. The property has a substantial history of compliance issues, with a total of 49 building violations recorded under the current ownership, and 86 service requests logged through the 311 system. While there have been some recent resolutions to code violations, including two complaints from January 2025 and one from August 2025 that were complied and resolved, the pattern of violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only four permits issued in the past seven years, and there are currently two open service requests related to building violations and construction issues as of 2026.

Risk rating

How 6128 S Woodlawn 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.
