Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6145 N Meade Ave in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by Edward Denk, was constructed in 1954 and is registered under two parcels. The property's recent history over the past seven years shows minimal service requests, with only two recorded incidents in the 311 system. The most notable of these was a report from May 2025 regarding an injured animal, which has since been closed. Prior to this, the only other recorded service request was also from 311, though the specific nature of that incident is not detailed in the available data. The building's documented history suggests generally low service request activity, with no significant safety or resident experience issues currently on record.

Risk rating

How 6145 N Meade Ave'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.
