Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 6522 S Ashland Ave in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Donnell Jehan, has been standing since 1903 and has experienced relatively few issues in recent years. Over the past seven years, there has been only one building code violation recorded, which occurred in August 2019 under a complaint-driven inspection and has since been resolved. The building's service history shows a total of nine 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent and only outstanding request being for an alley pothole complaint filed in May 2026. Several service requests clustered in late 2024 are particularly notable, including reports of a vacant/abandoned building (November 2024), a building violation (November 2024), and a sewer cleaning inspection request (November 2024). These requests were all closed, though the concentration of issues in late 2024 warrants attention. Other service requests include two graffiti removal requests (May 2024 and May 2025) and one building violation request (November 2024), all of which were resolved. Throughout the past seven years, only one building permit has been recorded for this property.

Risk rating

How 6522 S Ashland 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
8thpercentile

Out of 4934 buildings in this neighborhood, 4539 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
