6442 S Maryland Chicago

Woodlawn, Chicago IL 60637 20231020300000 8 units · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The property at 6442 S Maryland in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood is an 8-unit residential building dating back to 1900, currently owned by Urban Partnership Bank. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively few incidents, with only 7 service requests on record specifically for the building and 37 requests associated with the owner across four parcels. The most notable recent activity occurred in May 2025, when multiple reports of abandoned vehicles were filed and subsequently resolved, suggesting this may have been a temporary local issue rather than a building-specific concern. Earlier in 2025, there were two other service requests: a stray animal complaint in March and a general information call to 311. The building's permit activity over the past seven years shows only one building permit has been issued, though this alone does not provide comprehensive insight into the property's maintenance and improvement history. While the service request frequency appears low compared to typical urban properties, it's important to note that not all building issues may necessarily be captured in 311 reports or permit records.

Risk rating

How 6442 S Maryland Chicago'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
12thpercentile

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Location

Precise location is a proxy for area-level risk — some Chicago zip codes have systematically higher code-enforcement activity.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class (211)

Assessor class 211 — small residential (roughly 2–6 units). The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.
