AI summary

The 6-unit residential building at 5227 N Oakview St in Chicago's O'Hare neighborhood was constructed in 1968 and is currently owned by Stanislaw Szafranski. The property's recent service record is notably minimal, with only one 311 service request recorded in the past seven years (as of 2023), which was for a water lead testing visit in December 2025. This request, though related to water quality concerns, was promptly closed, suggesting appropriate response to the health and safety matter. The building's overall service request history shows limited activity, with the owner having filed a total of 10 service requests across all four of their parcels in the past seven years. It's worth noting that while the recent lead testing request indicates proactive health safety measures, the building's age (constructed in 1968) places it in a category where older infrastructure and systems might require attention, though the available data does not indicate any specific ongoing issues.

Risk rating

How 5227 N Oakview 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 439 buildings in this neighborhood, 281 are predicted to be safer.
