Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6540 S Aberdeen Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Arlene Lee, has been standing since 1904. The property's recent history shows two building code violations in January 2023, both of which have been resolved. Over the past seven years, there have been six 311 service requests associated with the property. The most concerning of these is a currently open tree emergency reported in June 2026, which suggests an ongoing safety or maintenance issue. Additionally, there is an open water lead test kit request from November 2025 that warrants attention, given the health implications of lead exposure. The building has also experienced various animal-related incidents, including a closed vicious animal complaint in August 2025 and a dead animal pick-up request in March 2025. Other service requests include a 311 information-only call in October 2024 and a clean and green program request through the Alderman's office in May 2024. While the building code violations have been addressed, the open service requests, particularly regarding water safety and tree emergency, indicate some areas requiring continued monitoring.

Risk rating

How 6540 S Aberdeen St'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
29thpercentile
