Initial analysis

The property at 6008 S Wabash Ave in the Washington Park neighborhood is a three-unit residential building constructed in 1893 and currently owned by JAM PROP GRP LLC. The building's record over the past seven years shows notable concerns regarding maintenance and safety, with a total of 13 building violations and 28 service requests made through the 311 system. Most concerning are six open violation cases from August 27, 2025, all categorized as complaint-driven inspections, which suggest ongoing issues requiring attention. The property has also experienced recurring street lighting issues, with two service requests for non-functioning street lights in 2026, including one that remains unresolved. Additional maintenance and environmental issues have been documented, including a closed street cleaning request, a tree planting request (still open as of 2025), completed weed removal, and a resolved fly dumping complaint from September 2025. Historically, there was an air pollution complaint registered in December 2003, though this is quite dated relative to the other issues noted.

Risk rating

How 6008 S Wabash 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
69thpercentile
