Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6019 S Damen Ave in Englewood, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Frances Smith Jones VE, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past seven years, with particular emphasis on water-related problems. Most recently, in June 2026, an open request for a water lead test kit was filed, potentially indicating ongoing concerns about water quality in the building. This was preceded by two water-related incidents in 2025, including an August complaint about water in the basement and a July request to check for leaks, both of which were closed but suggest a pattern of moisture-related challenges within the property. The building's documented service history is relatively limited, with only three 311 service requests recorded in the past seven years, all of which were water-related issues. While the property maintains a single parcel ownership status, the recurring nature of water-related concerns warrants attention to the building's plumbing and water management systems.

Risk rating

How 6019 S Damen 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.

Neighborhood percentile
