Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 6224 W Balmoral Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Balmoral Chicago LLC, has maintained an active record since its 1915 construction. The property has experienced several significant events over the past seven years, with the most recent being multiple complaint-driven inspections in August 2025, all of which were promptly resolved. Notably, there are still two open complaint-driven violations from December 2022 that remain unresolved. The building has also faced challenges with rodent issues, as evidenced by two rat complaints filed in April 2026, though these were subsequently closed. Additional service requests indicate periodic infrastructure concerns, including a no-water complaint and a sanitation violation in August 2025, both of which were resolved. A shared cost sidewalk program request from January 2026 is currently open. While the building has had some maintenance and infrastructure issues, it is worth noting that the majority of recent violations and service requests have been resolved in a timely manner, with the exception of the two outstanding violations from late 2022.

Risk rating

How 6224 W Balmoral 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.
