Woodlawn, Chicago IL 60637 20154190240000 8 units · 1914

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 6234 S Saint Lawrence in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by St Lawrence Holdings, has recorded its activity over the past several years through the city's 311 service system. Built in 1914, this property has had four documented service requests in the last seven years, with the most recent occurring in June 2026 regarding a vicious animal complaint. The building experienced three notable incidents in September 2024, including both plumbing violations and water quality concerns, which could potentially impact resident health and safety. Prior to these, in April 2024, there was a dead animal pick-up request associated with the property. While all service requests are noted as "Closed," the clustering of plumbing and water quality issues in 2024 suggests a period of environmental maintenance challenges that may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 6234 S Saint Lawrence 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
12thpercentile

Out of 1895 buildings in this neighborhood, 1668 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
