AI summary

The property at 6223 S Evans Ave, a two-unit building constructed in 1908 in the Woodlawn neighborhood, is currently owned by April M Harwell and has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. The most significant concerns involve five open building code violations from December 30, 2019, all related to complaint-driven inspections, which remain unresolved nearly four years later. While the building has had only three 311 service requests in the past seven years, these recent issues require attention. Two of the requests were for recycling pick-up services (in July 2025 and May 2024), and one was related to garbage cart maintenance (also in May 2024), all of which have been appropriately closed. The persistence of the building violations from 2019 stands out as the most critical ongoing issue for this property, though no recent violations have been recorded in the past four years.

Risk rating

How 6223 S Evans Ave 01'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.
