Unlock complete reportThe 8-unit residential building at 6605 S Kimbark in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood has experienced significant ongoing maintenance and safety challenges since at least 2006, when it was cited for two environmental violations with $300 fines each. Of particular concern is the pattern of unresolved building code violations, with six separate complaint-driven inspections recorded between August and November 2022 that remain open as of the latest data. The property has generated substantial municipal service activity over the past seven years, with a total of 368 311 service requests filed under the ownership of BHF Chicago Housing GR, though only seven of these have been related directly to building code issues. The most recent cluster of 311 service requests from June 2026 indicates multiple environmental and street maintenance concerns, including ongoing water issues on the street and tree-related problems, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. The building has also been associated with four "scofflaw violations," suggesting possible patterns of non-compliance with municipal regulations. Given the high number of open violations and service requests, particularly those related to building code compliance, there is a clear need for ongoing monitoring of this property's maintenance and safety record.

How 6605 S Kimbark 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
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.
Out of 1887 buildings in this neighborhood, 1717 are predicted to be safer.
