Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6112 S Langley Ave in Woodlawn, owned by Joseph W Handy III, has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance and safety concerns over the past several years. As of October 2023, there are seven unresolved building code violations recorded in April 2025, along with one unresolved complaint-driven inspection from July 2023. The property has accumulated a total of 15 building violations over the past seven years, indicating persistent regulatory challenges. In terms of service requests, there have been 14 recorded incidents through the 311 system, with the most recent being a dead animal pick-up request in April 2026. The service requests include several sanitation and maintenance issues, such as multiple complaints about uncleared sidewalks due to snow in December 2025, a sanitation code violation in September 2025, and two abandoned vehicle complaints in March and August 2026, all of which have been resolved. The building's inspection and service request history suggests ongoing attention to maintenance and regulatory compliance is required, particularly given the concentration of open violations from 2025.

Risk rating

How 6112 S Langley 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.
