Initial analysis

The 10-unit residential building at 6459 S Racine in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by YW Englewood Series C, has a significant documented history dating back to its 1908 construction. Most concerning is the current cluster of unresolved building code violations, with six open complaints filed on May 13, 2025, suggesting ongoing and potentially serious building maintenance or safety issues. The building has accumulated 46 building code violations over the past seven years, indicating persistent compliance challenges. Although there have been some attempts at addressing these issues, as evidenced by four building violation service requests between January 2025 and April 2026 (all of which were closed), the sheer volume of violations and recent open cases suggests that many problems remain unaddressed.

Risk rating

How 6459 S Racine 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.
