Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 property at 6718 S Union Ave 2 is a two-unit residential building in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by WB Riverdale Foreclosure. The building's recent service history from 2024-2025 shows recurring issues with garbage cart maintenance, indicating possible waste management challenges, with three such complaints documented in this period. Safety concerns have emerged in 2025 with two separate bee/wasp removal incidents requiring attention. The building has a total of 17 violations documented over the past seven years, along with 131 service requests made by the owner during the same timeframe. While these numbers suggest significant ongoing maintenance and compliance oversight needs, it's worth noting that only one building permit has been pulled in the past seven years. The property's historical records show an environmental complaint for illegal dumping dating back to 2001, though this appears to be an isolated incident compared to the more recent issues. The relatively high volume of service requests and violations suggests persistent building management challenges, though the majority of recent complaints relate to exterior and maintenance issues rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 6718 S Union Ave 2'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.
