Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6033 S Prairie Ave in Washington Park, owned by Plainsman Properties, has maintained a notable history of unresolved building code violations over the past seven years, with the most recent set occurring in October 2024. These violations are particularly concerning as they stem from complaint-driven inspections, suggesting that the issues were reported by residents or others rather than being identified through routine inspections. The building experienced a cluster of similar violations in November 2019, all of which also remain unresolved. In addition to these code violations, there has been one 311 service request in the last seven years, related to a tree emergency in July 2024, though this issue has been marked as closed. The persistence of multiple open violations from 2019 and 2024, particularly during complaint-driven inspections, raises significant concerns about the building's maintenance and safety conditions.

Risk rating

How 6033 S Prairie Ave'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
