Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5854 N Washtenaw Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Kelli A Larson, has been standing since 1924 and has experienced some notable issues in recent years. The property has generated a total of 14 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent set of incidents occurring in 2025. A particular concern emerges from the repeated rodent issues, with complaints logged in May and again in May 2026, suggesting an ongoing pest management challenge. The year 2025 also saw two tree emergencies recorded in May and June, indicating potential safety risks related to vegetation management. While there was one incident of recycling pick-up service request and an information-only call to 311 that same year, these appear to be routine matters. It's worth noting that the building's 311 service request record spans several years, but the concentration of incidents in 2025, particularly involving both rodent and tree-related issues, stands out as the most significant period in terms of building maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 5854 N Washtenaw 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.
