Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 6451 S Hermitage Ave in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, built in 1909 and currently owned by Juan Ortega Fifty Perc, has experienced a notable cluster of tree-related issues in recent months, with three tree-related service requests in 2026 alone. Most concerning is the presence of two tree emergency requests, one of which remains open as of June 2026, suggesting an ongoing potentially hazardous situation. The property has also had two sanitation-related service requests earlier in 2026, including a sanitation code violation and a clean vacant lot request, both of which have been resolved. While the building's 311 service request record shows 19 total entries over the past seven years, the recent frequency and nature of service requests in 2026, particularly regarding tree emergencies, stand out as the most significant pattern in the building's recent history, potentially impacting resident safety and property maintenance.

Risk rating

How 6451 S Hermitage 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.
