6124 S Cottage Grove Chicago

The 65-unit residential building at 6124 S Cottage Grove in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, managed by POAH Communities and constructed in 2014, has experienced notable issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning are the multiple open building code violations recorded between January 2026 and June 2026, with complaint-driven inspections being initiated but remaining unresolved as of the latest available data. During the same period, there has been a cluster of building violation-related 311 service requests, with six requests between May 27 and June 2, 2026, of which five were closed, though one remains open. The building's history shows accumulation of various service requests and violations, with 12 building violations and 14 service requests recorded at the building level over the past seven years. At the ownership level (for 21 total parcels), POAH Communities has faced more significant challenges, with 147 total building violations and 281 service requests across all their properties during the same period. The property has also been subject to air pollution-related complaints in 2017, though these were either not substantiated or referred to other departments for investigation. While the building is relatively new (built in 2014), the recent pattern of unresolved violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance or compliance challenges that may affect resident quality of life and safety.
