Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 6640 S Hermitage Ave in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by SOW Community Development, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1903. The property has experienced some code enforcement challenges, with two unresolved building code violations recorded in January 2021 through complaint-driven inspections. The building's recent service history includes two 311 service requests in 2025: a closed complaint regarding missed garbage pick-up in August, and a now-invalidated request for tree trimming services in June. While the building has a total of ten violations and 31 service requests recorded under the ownership of SOW Community Development over the past seven years, it's worth noting that many of these records may pertain to multiple parcels managed by the same ownership group, rather than solely representing issues specific to this particular two-unit building. The property has also seen the issuance of three building permits during this period, indicating some level of maintenance or improvements.

Risk rating

How 6640 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.

Neighborhood percentile
38thpercentile
