AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 6848 South Champlain Avenue in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood is a two-story property dating back to 1913, currently owned by Donald A. Jones Jr. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only three recorded 311 service requests, all of which were submitted on July 30, 2024. These recent requests, all related to tree planting initiatives, represent the property's most current engagement with city services. While two of these requests are marked as 'Open,' one has been 'Closed,' though the resolution status of these botanical initiatives may not directly impact the building's habitability or resident experience. The building's 311 service request history suggests very few reported issues over the past seven years, indicating relatively stable conditions, though the limited sample size and recent nature of the requests should be noted.

Risk rating

How 6848 S Champlain 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.
