Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6952 W Wellington Ave in Chicago's Montclare neighborhood, owned by Juan Martinez, dates back to 1903 and occupies a parcel size of 10 lots. The property's recent history shows relatively low building violations, with only one recorded in the past seven years, though there is an unresolved permit-related inspection violation from October 2021 that requires attention. The building's maintenance record includes seven 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of reported issues occurring in 2026, including sanitation code violations and multiple recycling cart requests. Additional 311 service requests over the years have included a yard waste pickup request (March 2026), an injured animal report (March 2025), and garbage cart maintenance (November 2024). While these service requests indicate regular maintenance needs, they primarily relate to standard waste management and sanitation services rather than structural or safety concerns. The building's overall violation and service request record shows no significant patterns of serious neglect or safety issues, though the open permit-related inspection violation from 2021 warrants attention as a potential area of concern.

Risk rating

How 6952 W Wellington 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.
