Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6120 S Saint Lawrence Ave in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood is a privately-owned property managed by Ceres Management LLC, dating back to 1908. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents, with only two 311 service requests directly related to the property itself - one concerning a street pothole (resolved in May 2025) and another regarding an alley light outage (resolved in July 2024). It's notable that while these two issues were appropriately addressed, they were both municipal infrastructure concerns rather than building-specific problems. Ceres Management LLC has three total parcels listed under its ownership, and while the building's direct service request history is minimal, the company's total service request count across its parcels stands at 16, suggesting that most reported issues may pertain to properties other than this particular building. The limited number of building-specific complaints over this period could be interpreted as positive, though it's important to note that not all property conditions may be captured through public service requests.

Risk rating

How 6120 S Saint Lawrence 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1887 buildings in this neighborhood, 698 are predicted to be safer.
