Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 6921 W Shakespeare Ave in Galewood, owned by Steven Moore, has an established history dating back to its 1947 construction. The property has generated minimal 311 service requests over the past seven years, with a total of nine requests associated with the owner across two parcels, though only three of these requests have been specifically documented in the 311 system. The most recent activity consists of three tree removal inspection requests, with the latest initiated in May 2026 and currently remaining open. Two earlier tree removal inspection requests from May 2024 and August 2024 have been resolved, suggesting the property may be undergoing periodic vegetation management or maintenance review related to tree health and safety. While the building's service request history is relatively limited, with no documented emergency or safety-related incidents in the available record, the recurring nature of tree-related inspections indicates ongoing attention to the property's landscape management.

Risk rating

How 6921 W Shakespeare 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.

Neighborhood percentile
