Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 6128 S Laflin St in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Lisa Richardson, has been standing since 1903 and has a concerning pattern of recent maintenance issues. Most notably, three complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded on September 3, 2024, which remain unresolved as of October 2023. The property has generated a total of 18 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent activity concentrated in early 2026. This recent cluster of service requests includes multiple ice and snow removal requests (three in January 2026), a garbage cart maintenance issue (January 2026), and two rodent-related complaints (April 2026). The building's record also shows two building permits issued in the past seven years. While historical data from 1903 to the present is not fully available in this summary, these recent violations and service requests indicate potential ongoing maintenance challenges that could affect resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 6128 S Laflin St'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.
