Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5818 N Bernard St in Chicago's North Park neighborhood, owned by Nhung Nguyen and H Pham, was constructed in 1929 and currently shows one building code violation on its record from the past seven years. This single violation is particularly noteworthy as it remains unresolved, having been documented on July 11, 2022, through a complaint-driven inspection. While the building has only one recorded violation in the past seven years, the open status of this 2022 violation warrants attention as it could potentially impact resident safety or comfort. No other building violations are currently on record for this property, and the ownership structure reveals only one total parcel under the names provided.

Risk rating

How 5818 N Bernard 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

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
26thpercentile
