Initial analysis

The 25-unit residential building at 6948 S Clyde in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood, constructed in 1919 and currently owned by 5812 Properties, has experienced significant and persistent issues over the past few years. The building's record reveals an alarming pattern of unresolved violations, with six open complaints recorded in January 2025 alone, along with an additional open periodic routine inspection violation recorded in December 2025. The property has generated multiple plumbing-related concerns, with two new plumbing service requests filed in April 2026, one of which remains unresolved. Between 2015 and 2022, the building accumulated a total of 22 violations and 18 service requests, though these figures pale in comparison to the staggering owner totals during the same period, showing 678 violations and 563 service requests associated with the property and its 24 total parcels. The building's permit activity shows minimal maintenance investment, with only one permit issued in the past seven years compared to 31 permits recorded under the owner's total account, and just one environmental complaint on file. The most recent service requests include multiple plumbing violations and a sanitation code violation in 2025, suggesting ongoing infrastructure and maintenance challenges that may affect resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 6948 S Clyde 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
