6229 N Artesian Chicago

West Ridge, Chicago IL 60659 13012150080000 12 units · 1931

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 12-unit, three-parcel residential building at 6229 N Artesian in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Ilija Krecu, has been in operation since 1931 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most particularly, in 2026, there have been multiple sewer-related issues, with two sewer cleaning inspection requests currently open as of May 2026, following a closed water-on-street complaint in April 2026. Earlier in 2026, there were two closed cases regarding city vehicle sticker violations in February. Looking back to 2024, there was an inspection of the public way conducted in August that has since been resolved. While the building has had relatively few service requests overall (nine in total over the past seven years, with two of those still pending resolution), the recent concentration of sewer-related issues in 2026 represents the most significant pattern of service requests on record.

Risk rating

How 6229 N Artesian 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
