Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6918 South Michigan Avenue in Grand Crossing, owned by Sharon Langston, has a long history of building code violations and service requests dating back to its construction in 1908. Most notably, there is a cluster of open, unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded in March 2026 that warrant attention, as they represent the most recent and significant concerns regarding the building's condition and habitability. Additionally, between January and March 2026, there were multiple infrastructure-related issues, including two plumbing violations (in January and February), a missed garbage pick-up complaint, and a no water complaint, all of which have since been resolved. The building's historical record shows a total of 12 building violations and 7 service requests over the past seven years, though the most pressing concerns appear to be concentrated in the early months of 2026.

Risk rating

How 6918 S Michigan Ave 6918'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.
