Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6559 S Rhodes Ave in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Evan M Devroe, has been in service since 1903 and has experienced minimal documented activity over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of seven 311 service requests during this period, with the most recent occurring in August 2025 regarding garbage cart maintenance. A notable cluster of issues emerged between May and June 2024, comprising three separate street light outage complaints (reported on May 28, May 30, and June 28), a leak check request (June 26), and a tree trimming request (July 10) - though the latter request was no longer being accepted at the time of filing. The only building permit on record for the past seven years was filed by the owner, though the specific details and nature of this permit are not provided in the available data. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this age and type, the frequency of street light issues in mid-2024 and the single leak check request are worth noting from an infrastructure maintenance perspective.

Risk rating

How 6559 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
