Initial analysis

The property at 6417 S Champlain Ave in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood is a 6-unit, 1925-built building currently owned by Goldsmith. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety oversight in recent years, with a concerning total of 42 building violations recorded over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of issues occurred in early January 2025, when multiple complaint-driven inspections resulted in both resolved violations and one unresolved citation that remains open as of 2025. The inspection record shows a pattern of plumbing-related problems, as evidenced by six closed 311 service requests specifically related to plumbing violations between November and March 2026, as well as a sanitation code violation in December 2025. Throughout the seven-year period under review, only two building permits have been issued for this property, suggesting limited recorded improvements or maintenance work. The frequency and nature of these violations raise ongoing concerns about the building's maintenance and resident living conditions, particularly focusing on plumbing infrastructure and sanitation issues.

Risk rating

How 6417 S Champlain 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
