6401 S Normal Blvd

Englewood, Chicago IL 60621 20211130360000 4 units · 1888

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 four-unit residential building at 6401 S Normal Blvd in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Janette Tillman, has experienced a series of municipal service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of issues occurring in June 2026. Currently, there are two open service requests from June 2026 regarding street lighting problems and a tree emergency, while two previous street light complaints from the same month have been resolved. The property has also encountered some pest control challenges, as evidenced by a rodent baiting complaint filed in March 2026, which has since been closed. Looking back to 2025, there was one transportation-related service request for stop sign repair that was successfully resolved. The building, constructed in 1888, has generated a total of 17 service requests in the past seven years, though the majority of these recent issues appear to be concentrated in the summer of 2026, particularly concerning exterior infrastructure such as street lighting and nearby vegetation.

Risk rating

How 6401 S Normal Blvd'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
