Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 6129 S Vernon Ave in the Woodlawn neighborhood is a 1912 structure currently owned by Capital Management. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of four 311 service requests filed, one of which was classified as a building violation in May 2024, though this violation has since been resolved according to the closed status. The remaining three service requests were all related to garbage cart maintenance and recycling services, with the most recent occurring in January 2026. These sanitation-related requests, including two in December 2025 and one in January 2026, suggest ongoing attention to waste management infrastructure, though they appear to be routine maintenance issues rather than serious concerns. The building's permit record matches the number of service requests at four, though no specific details about these permits are provided in the available data.

Risk rating

How 6129 S Vernon 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.
