Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6728 S May St in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Ethel Chris Curtis, was constructed in 1878 and has experienced multiple infrastructure and environmental challenges in recent years. Most notably, in August 2025, the property faced significant tree-related issues, with three separate emergency reports filed regarding tree concerns, followed by a tree debris clean-up request in September 2025. These incidents occurred during a single month, suggesting a potentially serious vegetation management issue. Additionally, in August 2025, there was an incident involving water in the basement, which could indicate problems with building maintenance or drainage systems, though this was one of the few interior-related complaints in the recent record. The building's service history shows a total of 22 recorded 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent being an alley light out complaint in February 2026. While some of these incidents, such as the lighting issue, might not directly affect resident comfort, they do contribute to the overall quality of the living environment. The pattern of tree-related issues in particular stands out as the most significant cluster of service requests on record for this property.

Risk rating

How 6728 S May 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

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.
