Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6423 South Evans Avenue in Woodlawn, owned by La Batbara Goins, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1898. Over the past seven years, there has been minimal recorded activity associated with the property, with only one building permit and one building code violation on record. The most concerning current issue is an open permit-related inspection violation dated June 15, 2026, which remains unresolved as of the latest data in October 2023. This open violation, while different from typical habitability concerns, indicates that there was either work done without proper permitting or that required inspections were not completed, suggesting potential noncompliance with building code requirements. The relatively sparse record of violations and permits could indicate either diligent maintenance or potentially limited record-keeping of all building activities.

Risk rating

How 6423 S Evans 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.
