Unlock complete reportThe three-story, six-unit residential building at 6131 S Michigan Ave in Washington Park, built in 1913, has experienced a significant number of documented issues over the past seven years, with particular concern for recent unresolved violations. The building has received 15 building violations during this period, including six open violations from October 2022 that were all generated from a complaint-driven inspection. The property has also generated 27 service requests through the 311 system, with the most notable cluster of incidents occurring in December 2025, when there were multiple reports concerning aggressive animal behavior, including three vicious animal complaints and one nuisance animal complaint, all of which have been closed. The ownership entity, listed as LIFTUP COMMUN BOX503, holds title to two parcels related to this address, with records showing a total of 22 building violations and 27 service requests associated with their ownership across the two parcels, though some of these counts appear duplicated between the property and ownership records. The recent history of multiple animal-related incidents raises questions about neighborhood safety protocols and management response, while the unresolved building violations from 2022 indicate ongoing compliance issues that require attention.

How 6131 S Michigan 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
Grade A–B — Low risk
City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.
Grade C — Moderate risk
Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
Grade D–F — High risk
Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
Out of 598 buildings in this neighborhood, 508 are predicted to be safer.
