Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6949 S Eberhart Ave in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Cheryl A Washington, has a documented history dating back to its 1893 construction. The property's recent records from October 2023 show the resolution of two complaint-driven violations, marking their completion as the most recent building-related events. The building's 311 service history over the past seven years reveals a pattern of animal-related incidents, with five separate animal complaints or wellness checks recorded between April 2025 and January 2026. These incidents suggest an ongoing concern with local wildlife or pet management in the immediate vicinity. Additionally, there was one instance of a tree debris clean-up request in October 2024, though this appears to be the only non-animal related service request in recent years. The building has maintained compliance with all documented regulations, as evidenced by the resolution of two recent building code violations. While the property has maintained an active communication with city services through 311, the nature of the requests suggests these were primarily local environmental and community service matters rather than issues directly related to the building's condition or safety.

Risk rating

How 6949 S Eberhart 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
