AI summary

The 12-unit residential building at 5930 N Odell in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood is a three-story structure constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Eugene J Minalt. The building's official records over the past seven years show minimal activity, with a total of four 311 service requests lodged between May 2024 and May 2025. All recorded service requests have been resolved, with three of them pertaining to tree removal inspections during early 2024, suggesting some potential concerns about tree health or safety in the immediate vicinity. The remaining service request, logged in May 2025, was related to a pothole in the street, which although not directly affecting the building's structure or services, could impact resident access and mobility. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this size and age, the concentration of tree-related issues in 2024 warrants noting, though the subsequent absence of similar complaints could indicate that these matters were adequately addressed.

Risk rating

How 5930 N Odell Chicago'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
