Initial analysis

The property at 6731 S May St in Englewood is a three-unit building owned by David Walker, dating back to 1898. The building's recent history (2024-2025) has been marked by several concerning incidents, most notably two unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in January 2025. The building's maintenance and safety record over the past seven years shows some attention required, with a total of 25 service requests made by the owner, and three specific 311 service requests in 2024-2025 that have been resolved, including issues with garbage cart maintenance, a construction violation, and a complaint about vacant/abandoned conditions. Earlier service requests also included a dead animal removal request in June 2024, which was subsequently addressed. Despite these issues, the building has had only one building permit issued in the past seven years, which may indicate limited recent improvements or modifications to the property.

Risk rating

How 6731 S May St 12'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.
