6735 S Indiana Ave

Grand Crossing, Chicago IL 60637 20223030160000 3 units · 1913

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 three-unit residential building at 6735 S Indiana Ave in Chicago's Grand Crossing neighborhood, owned by Geno Brandon Tate Trust, is a 1913 structure with a documented history of maintenance and service needs over the past seven years. Most recently, in early 2026, there were concerning issues with the property's infrastructure, including a water-in-basement complaint followed by a sewer cave-in inspection request, both of which were resolved. The property has experienced recurring maintenance needs, as evidenced by multiple garbage and recycling cart service requests throughout 2025 and 2026. While the building has had a total of 16 service requests in the past seven years, and only two building permits issued during this period, the pattern of service needs suggests ongoing maintenance requirements, particularly regarding waste management and water-related issues. The age of the building, combined with these documented service requests, indicates regular interaction with city services for basic infrastructure and maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 6735 S Indiana Ave'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.
