The property has accumulated four building violations in the past seven years, with four of these violations occurring in July 2023 during complaint-driven inspections, all of which remain unresolved as of October 2023. Additionally, there is an open, unresolved building code violation from a permit-related inspection that dates back to November 2019. The owner, SBH Investment Group, has two recorded building permits in the past seven years, though the nature and resolution status of the permitted work are not specified in the available data.

Risk rating

How 6618 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.

Neighborhood percentile
