Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 8-unit, 1928-built residential building at 5858 N Artesian in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, currently owned by John Guliana, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years, with particular developments in 2025. Most concerning is an open violation related to construction work conducted without proper permits, reported in August 2025. The property has also faced multiple fly dumping incidents in October 2025, suggesting ongoing issues with waste management in the vicinity. Additionally, there was an abandoned vehicle complaint in May 2025, which has since been resolved. Looking back to 2024, there was a tree trimming request submitted in April that is no longer being accepted, though this appears to be a procedural matter rather than a safety concern. While the building has generated a total of five service requests in the past seven years, the recent spike in complaints, particularly regarding unauthorized construction work and fly dumping, may indicate emerging challenges in property management and neighborhood maintenance.

Risk rating

How 5858 N Artesian 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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
15thpercentile
