Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 1925 building at 6201 W Wabansia in Chicago's Galewood neighborhood, owned by 6201 WEST WABANSIA LLC, has had several notable events over the past seven years, particularly in 2025. Most significantly, there was a cluster of six complaint-driven building code violations recorded and resolved on April 30, 2025, indicating a period of regulatory scrutiny that has since been addressed. Prior to these violations, there were two 311 service requests in March 2025, one related to building violations that was closed, and another concerning an abandoned vehicle that was handled by the Alderman's office. The building's record shows limited regulatory activity overall, with no building permits recorded in the past seven years, which is somewhat unusual for a multi-unit residential building of this age. While the recent resolution of multiple violations suggests the owners promptly addressed regulatory concerns, the concentration of violations in a single month in 2025 warrants noting as the most significant event in the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 6201 W Wabansia 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.

Neighborhood percentile
11thpercentile
