Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 5749 N Washtenaw Ave in West Ridge, owned by Raymond Heintzelman, was constructed in 1954 and has experienced several noteworthy events over the past seven years. Most significantly, in October 2023, the property underwent a series of complaint-driven inspections resulting in six building code violations, though all were promptly resolved. In 2024, there was one tree trimming service request filed in April, which was closed, followed by an air pollution-related environmental complaint in May, where the alleged violation was investigated but ultimately not found. The building's record shows relatively few issues considering the time period, with 24 building violations recorded over seven years, though most appear to have been addressed in a timely manner. While the property has experienced multiple code violations, it's worth noting that almost all recent violations have been promptly resolved.
How 5749 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
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.
Out of 3105 buildings in this neighborhood, 2857 are predicted to be safer.
