Initial analysis

The 12-unit building at 6755 South Western, owned by Awad Matarieh and located in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, was constructed in 1924 and has a concerning recent history of building code violations and service requests. Most notably, in December 2024, there were multiple open unresolved violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections, totaling seven violations within a short time frame. This represents a significant cluster of issues that may affect resident safety and compliance with building codes. In addition to these violations, the building has experienced ongoing management challenges over the past seven years, with a total of 44 building violations recorded, though relatively few permits have been obtained — only two in the same period. The property has also generated six 311 service requests, primarily relating to business complaints and building violations, with the most recent issues occurring in late 2024 and ranging from graffiti removal to various business-related complaints. While some historical service requests have been resolved, the cluster of recent building code violations suggests current compliance challenges within the property.

Risk rating

How 6755 S Western Chicago'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.
