Initial analysis

The 10-unit residential building located at 5701 N Washtenaw in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood is a 1927 construction currently owned by Washtenaw A & B LLC. Over the past seven years, there have been 10 documented service requests through the city's 311 system, with the most significant of these being an open violation case from October 2024 regarding unauthorized building permit and construction activity. The property has experienced several infrastructure and maintenance issues in 2025, including complaints about street lighting and potholes, as well as a tree emergency, though these are external to the building itself. Earlier in 2024, there was a request for tree debris cleanup, and in 2025, two tree-related service requests were filed, including one for trimming that is no longer being accepted. While the building has had its share of maintenance-related interactions with city services, it's worth noting that the majority of these issues appear to be related to tree and street maintenance rather than the building's structural or operational systems.

Risk rating

How 5701 N Washtenaw 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.
