Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 6126 S Langley Ave in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Russell B Brownfield J and constructed in 1908, has recently faced significant regulatory challenges. The most pressing concern is a series of unresolved permit-related violations, with five open violations documented between August and December 2023, and one additional unresolved violation from September 2022. This pattern suggests ongoing compliance issues with building permits that have persisted over an extended period. Outside of these violations, the building's service request history is relatively minimal, with only one 311 service request in the past seven years - a tree planting request made in June 2024 that remains open. The building's documented history shows a consistent pattern of permit-related inspection issues, with no recorded building permit approvals in the past seven years, which stands in contrast to the five total violations and three units in the building.

Risk rating

How 6126 S Langley Ave 1'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
24thpercentile
