6639 S Woodlawn Ave
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.
This building has 0 building violations (7y), at or below the Woodlawn average of 2.9.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts building violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Unlock complete reportThe six-unit residential building at 6639 S Woodlawn Ave in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood, owned by Renaissance Properties, is a century-old structure built in 1904. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 135 service requests through the 311 system, indicating relatively high ongoing maintenance concerns. The most recent service requests, dating from late 2024 to late 2025, have primarily focused on public infrastructure issues including ice and snow removal, street lighting, tree trimming, and sidewalk inspection, all of which were appropriately closed upon resolution. The property has experienced a total of six building violations during this period, though specific details of these violations are not provided in the available data. Additionally, only three building permits have been recorded for the property in the past seven years, suggesting limited permitted renovations or improvements. While the building has maintained compliance with reporting requirements through appropriate closure of service requests, the higher number of total service requests compared to permits and violations indicates ongoing attention required for both building systems and surrounding infrastructure.

How 6639 S Woodlawn 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.
Out of 1895 buildings in this neighborhood, 1592 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
