Initial analysis

The 47-unit residential building at 6559 S Harvard in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Chicago N Barrington, has experienced a troubling pattern of building management issues over the past four years. Most notably, there are currently six open, unresolved building code violations as of April 2026, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted on the same date, which is highly unusual and suggests a cluster of related issues that have not been addressed. Additionally, there is an open tree emergency service request from June 2026 that remains unresolved. Between January and March 2026, there were multiple building-related complaints, including two plumbing violations and three general building violations, though these earlier issues were resolved. The building has a concerning history, with a total of 50 building violations and 16 service requests recorded over the past seven years, against only one building permit filed during this period. Given the age of the property (constructed in 1927) and its current unresolved violations, there are significant ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 6559 S Harvard Chicago'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.
