Woodlawn, Chicago IL 60637 20231210330000 2 units · 1890

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 two-unit residential building at 6630 S Drexel Ave in Woodlawn, currently owned by Victor Wong, is a 133-year-old structure built in 1890. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only four 311 service requests recorded. The most recent service requests include a pothole complaint from April 2026 and a garbage cart maintenance issue from January 2026, both of which were resolved. Earlier in the record, there was one leakage check requested from the Department of Water Management in September 2025 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in August 2025, both of which were also closed. Notably, there has been only one building permit filed under the current ownership in the past seven years, though the specific nature and date of that permit is not detailed in the available records. The relatively low number of service requests and permits over such an extended period could suggest limited recent maintenance or improvements to the property, but this should be interpreted cautiously given the possibility of unrecorded work or issues.

Risk rating

How 6630 S Drexel 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
55thpercentile
