Englewood, Chicago IL 60621 20204120240000 2 units · 1893

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 two-unit residential building at 6812 S Sangamon St in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Elizabeth Watson, has been in existence since 1893. The property has had 8 service requests filed through 311 city services over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2025. The record shows two building violations in December 2024, including one specifically related to plumbing issues, followed by another building violation and two information-only calls in February 2025. The most recent interaction was a garbage cart maintenance request in July 2025. While all listed service requests are marked as closed, the pattern of building violations, particularly the plumbing issue in late 2024, suggests there have been some structural or maintenance concerns requiring attention in recent years. However, the building has not accumulated any pattern of repeated violations or unresolved issues during this period.

Risk rating

How 6812 S Sangamon 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
63rdpercentile
