Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The property at 6550 S Carpenter Street is a two-unit residential building situated in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Original Philadelphia. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years reveals very limited maintenance or incident records, with a total of five service requests attributed to the owner across two parcels. The majority of recorded incidents (three out of five) occurred within a three-year period from 2025 to 2026, primarily involving municipal infrastructure concerns rather than building-specific issues. These external matters included an abandoned vehicle complaint (April 2026), an unfulfilled tree trimming request (November 2025), and a stop sign repair request (February 2025), all of which were appropriately routed to and closed by relevant city departments. It's worth noting that none of these service requests indicate any direct impact on the building's safety or resident experience, and the absence of building-specific complaints in the available records suggests minimal reported issues during this period. The property's documented history points to regular municipal interactions rather than significant building-related concerns.

Risk rating

How 6550 S Carpenter 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
