Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 6241 N Northwest Highway in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by ABM Properties LLC, has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Built in 1970, the building currently has two unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations recorded as of February 2026, following a series of four resolved violations from January 2023, all of which were addressed through official compliance. The property has generated multiple 311 service requests in 2026, including open requests for sewer cave-ins, public way inspections, and a pothole complaint, suggesting ongoing infrastructure concerns in the vicinity of the building. While there were two building violation complaints submitted through 311 that were resolved in December 2025 and October 2025 respectively, the persistence of recent violations and open service requests indicates that some maintenance and safety issues remain unaddressed as of the latest available data in October 2023.

Risk rating

How 6241 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.
