Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 6200 S Laflin Street in Englewood, owned by Gracie Hallom, has been standing since 1903 and presents a concerning array of recent issues. Most notably, on November 8, 2022, the property underwent three complaint-driven inspections that resulted in open and unresolved building code violations, marking the most significant current concerns about resident safety and building maintenance. The building's service request record over the past seven years shows 11 distinct instances of reported issues, with the most recent complaint in July 2025 regarding a vacant/abandoned building, though this was later closed. Between 2024 and 2025, there were several infrastructure-related complaints including two street light outages in August 2024, weed removal in May 2024, and a tree trimming request in February 2025. While these issues might suggest concerns about the building's surroundings and maintenance, it's important to note that many of these service requests relate to municipal infrastructure rather than direct building conditions. The property's record shows only five building permits requested in the past seven years, though this number may not fully represent all permits required or obtained for the building's maintenance and operations.

Risk rating

How 6200 S Laflin St'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
12thpercentile
