Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6530 S Rhodes Ave in Woodlawn, owned by Vanessa A Williamson, has a documented history dating back to its 1898 construction. The property has experienced relatively minimal issues over the past seven years, with only two building code violations recorded. Of particular note is an open permit-related inspection violation from May 2026, suggesting unresolved compliance issues that could impact resident safety or comfort. This follows a prior permit-related inspection violation from March 2026 that was resolved. The building's service request history shows one 311 complaint regarding water on the street, logged in March 2025, which has since been closed. The overall incident count for the property is low, with only one building permit and one service request recorded over the seven-year period, though the presence of an open violation raises some concerns about current building conditions.

Risk rating

How 6530 S Rhodes 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.
