Initial analysis

The 15-unit residential building at 6472 N Northwest Chicago in the Edison Park neighborhood, owned by VNM LLC SERIES C, was constructed in 1993 and has recently encountered several concerning issues. The property currently has an unresolved building code violation from September 2022 related to a periodic routine inspection. More recently, in 2025, there have been multiple water-related concerns, with two open requests for water lead test kits in August 2025, which may indicate ongoing water quality concerns. Additionally, there was a water in basement complaint filed in October 2025, though this has been closed. The building's record shows relatively few overall issues, with only one building violation and six 311 service requests documented over the past seven years, but the clustering of recent water-related incidents suggests there may be emerging concerns about the building's infrastructure and water systems. Other service requests from the past two years have included a tree trimming request (February 2025) and a street pothole complaint (December 2024), both of which were resolved, though these issues were related to external infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 6472 N Northwest 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
