Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6117 S Rhodes Ave in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Norma J Clark, has a century-old history dating back to 1908. In recent years, the property has had three documented service requests through the city's 311 system, all of which were resolved and closed. The most recent incident was a tree removal inspection requested in May 2025, following an abandoned vehicle complaint in April 2025. Notably, there was a rodent baiting or rat complaint registered in October 2024, which is worth mentioning as it directly relates to resident comfort and sanitation. While the building's service request record is relatively minimal over the past several years, with only three complaints, the recent clustering of service requests in 2024-2025 suggests some ongoing maintenance and urban environment challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 6117 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

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.
