Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6210 S Vernon Ave in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Gloria Hughes, has experienced several notable events over its more than 110-year history. Most significantly, in August 2025, the property underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections that resulted in six confirmed building code violations, though all of these violations were subsequently resolved. Prior to this, there were two service requests in July 2025 related to plumbing and building violations, both of which were closed. The building's maintenance history also includes a bee/wasp removal service in August 2024, and an information-only call to 311 in March 2025. Looking further back, an environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping was logged in June 1994, though it's unclear if this issue was addressed within the building's unit count or if it pertained to the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 6210 S Vernon 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.
