Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1914 brick building at 6008 S May St in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, currently owned by South Side Rentals Inc, has a documented history of vacant building violations between January 2013 and July 2016. During this period, the property was cited multiple times for failing to secure and maintain a vacant building, with six violations issued in each of the five documented cases, along with requirements for watchman services. All of these violations were ultimately resolved through city non-suit dispositions, and notably, no fines were imposed or collected in relation to these citations. While the frequency of violations suggests ongoing neglect of vacant building maintenance requirements during this period, the absence of any recorded violations or fines since July 2016 may indicate either resolution of the vacant status or improved property management practices, though no recent building activity is documented in the available records up to October 2023.

Risk rating

How 6008 S May 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.

Neighborhood percentile
