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 two-unit residential building at 6120 S Rhodes Avenue in the Woodlawn neighborhood is a century-old structure built in 1910, currently owned by Frank Smith. The property's service record over the past seven years has been remarkably quiet, with only one documented 311 service request – a street light complaint from August 2024 regarding improper daytime operation. This closed request represents the sole instance of reported concerns to the city's service system during this period, suggesting either a well-maintained property or potentially limited utilization of municipal reporting channels for building issues. The minimal service request history could also be indicative of underreporting, though this is speculative without further context.

Risk rating

How 6120 S Rhodes 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
