Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6745 S Prairie Ave in the Grand Crossing neighborhood, constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Joseph R Barrios, has experienced a notable cluster of service requests over the past seven years, with a particular concentration of incidents occurring in December 2025. During this period, the property has generated a total of ten service requests through the 311 system, with all recent incidents in December 2025 relating to animal-related complaints, including three reports of vicious animals and one report of a stray animal. Prior to this cluster, there were two reports of injured animals and one abandoned vehicle complaint in June 2025. While the building's documented service history covers several years, it's important to note that the majority of recent incidents have been related to animal-related issues rather than structural or maintenance concerns directly affecting the building itself or its residents.

Risk rating

How 6745 S Prairie 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.
