Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 6535 S Evans Ave in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Alvoh H Anderson, has been in existence since 1894 and has experienced a number of noteworthy events over the past seven years. Most recently, in February 2026, there was a permit-related inspection which resulted in a building code violation, though this has since been resolved. The property has been the subject of multiple municipal service requests, with a noticeable pattern of issues related to illegal dumping, as evidenced by three fly dumping complaints between February and April 2026, and two similar complaints in October 2025. Additionally, there have been two information-only calls to 311 in October 2025 and February 2026. Despite these service requests, the building's violation and permit record appears relatively minimal, with only one building code violation and three building permits filed during the seven-year period under review. The concentration of recent service requests regarding dumping issues, particularly in early 2026, may be of interest to potential tenants, though it's worth noting these incidents appear to be related to the surrounding neighborhood rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 6535 S Evans Ave 2'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.
