Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6948 S Kimbark Ave in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood is a 1924 construction currently owned by Mercedes Hill. The property's public record over the past seven years shows remarkably limited activity, with only one documented 311 service request during this period, which stands in contrast to typical building maintenance and service patterns. This single 311 incident, dating from June 13, 2026, concerns a stray animal complaint and is currently listed as open. While this request is noteworthy as the only recorded incident in recent years, it appears to be unrelated to the building's structural or habitability conditions. The building's relatively clean service request history might suggest stable management, though the absence of documented maintenance or service requests doesn't provide a comprehensive view of the property's condition or management practices.

Risk rating

How 6948 S Kimbark Ave 2Fl'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.

Neighborhood percentile
