West Ridge, Chicago IL 60645 10363170060000 3 units · 1929

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 three-unit, two-floor residential building at 6539 N Richmond Street in West Ridge was constructed in 1929 and is currently held under the ownership of Chicago Title Land Trust. The property has experienced significant administrative activity over the past seven years, with 818 total building violations recorded, 2518 service requests, and 134 building permits issued. While the recent history from 2024 to 2026 shows relatively few service requests (only five in the past two years), the overall numbers suggest a building that has required substantial ongoing maintenance and oversight. Recent service requests include blue recycling cart and garbage cart maintenance in January 2026, a sidewalk inspection request from August 2025 that remains open, a building violation from July 2025 that was closed, and a routine information call to 311 in September 2024. The property has also generated some environmental concerns, with 13 complaints and five enforcement actions recorded in the past seven years, along with one house share violation and seven scofflaw violations. The age of the building, combined with the high number of total violations and service requests, indicates that the property has required considerable attention from both tenants and city services, though recent activity levels appear to have stabilized somewhat.

Risk rating

How 6539 N Richmond St 2 Fl'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
26thpercentile
