Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 6342 S Ellis Ave in the Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Twinette Parmer, has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only two documented 311 service requests during this period. The property, constructed in 1911, has had minimal interaction with city services, which could be seen as a positive indicator of building maintenance and resident satisfaction. The most recent service requests were made in August 2025, including an open request for tree planting and a closed complaint about a stray animal. While the tree planting request is still pending resolution, it falls under the category of neighborhood beautification rather than a resident impact issue. The closed stray animal complaint suggests prompt attention to community concerns, though this incident occurred outside the immediate building context. Given the age of the structure and the limited number of service requests on record, it's worth noting that this relatively quiet service history could either indicate good maintenance practices or potential underreporting of issues, though no definitive conclusion can be drawn from the available data alone.

Risk rating

How 6342 S Ellis 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.
