Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 6223 South Kenwood Avenue in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by STARBUCK KEYSTONE LLC, has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved building code violations in recent years. Most notably, there are currently three open violations from 2024 and one from February 2023 that have not been resolved. While the property has a history of violations dating back to 2019, when there were three complaint-driven inspections that were ultimately complied with and resolved, the recent pattern suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. Owner records show a total of 26 building violations and 6 service requests in the past seven years, though the most recent service records are notably limited. The building's service requests include a recently addressed dead animal pick-up in September 2025 (though this date seems to be an anomaly as it's in the future) and a water-on-street complaint from May 2024, suggesting there may be issues with water-related infrastructure. Additionally, there is currently an open water lead test kit request from April 2024 that requires attention, indicating possible concerns about water quality. The building's permit activity is sparse, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years, which raises questions about recent maintenance and improvement efforts.

Risk rating

How 6223 S Kenwood 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
3rdpercentile
