Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 6918 W Grand Ave in the Montclare neighborhood, owned by Bill Honquest, has been standing since 1928 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The property currently has two unresolved building code violations from May 2022 and March 2025, both of which were prompted by complaint-driven inspections. Over the past seven years, there have been multiple 311 service requests, with the most recent activity concentrated in 2025, including plumbing violations and business complaints, though these particular cases have since been closed. Earlier issues from 2024 included a rodent infestation and a licensed pharmaceutical representative complaint, both of which were resolved. The building's historical record shows some environmental concerns dating back to the 1990s, with four documented complaints in 1997 regarding noise and one toxic hazardous materials work order in 1993, though these records are quite dated and their immediate relevance is unclear.

Risk rating

How 6918 W Grand 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.
