Initial analysis

The 6858 S Ashland building, located in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, is a two-story structure built in 1908 and currently owned by Allan E Leving. The property has experienced significant regulatory attention in recent months, with an unusually high number of building code violations recorded - six open complaints as of April 2026, all of which stem from the same inspection date and remain unresolved. Additionally, there is one open violation regarding unauthorized construction or building permit issues from February 2026 that warrants attention. Over the past seven years, the building has amassed a total of 30 building code violations and 16 311 service requests, indicating persistent maintenance and compliance challenges. While some issues have been resolved, as evidenced by three closed building violation requests in 2026 (two in April and one in February), the current open violations represent the most pressing concerns. The property has also experienced external infrastructure issues, with two closed pothole complaints filed with the Department of Transportation in March and April 2026, and one graffiti removal request in May 2026, though these are not directly related to the building's condition.

Risk rating

How 6858 S Ashland'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
