6927 S Emerald Ave

Englewood, Chicago IL 60621 20213140100000

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 property at 6927 S Emerald Avenue is a single-parcel, 125-year-old building located in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, currently owned by Luesendia Hill. The building's maintenance record over the past seven years shows relatively few service requests, totaling just four incidents. The most recent complaints, all from 2025, have been primarily focused on garbage cart maintenance issues, with three separate requests for servicing or maintaining garbage carts filed in May, July, and August of that year, all of which have been marked as closed. Prior to these, there was one rodent baiting/rat complaint filed in May 2025, which was also subsequently closed. While the age of the building and limited service requests might suggest minimal interaction with city services, the cluster of recent garbage-related complaints in 2025 could indicate some ongoing challenges with waste management around the property, though all reported issues have been addressed as evidenced by their closed status.

Risk rating

How 6927 S Emerald Ave'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
