Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 1940 spaulding building at 5859 N Spaulding in North Park has experienced significant challenges in recent years, with 67 building violations and 36 service requests documented over the past seven years. Most concerning are six unresolved building code violations recorded in August 2024 and three additional unresolved violations from October 2023, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections. The building's most recent activity includes multiple rodent-related service requests in late 2025, including complaints about infestations and dead animal removal, suggesting persistent pest control issues in the vicinity. Other service requests have included infrastructure concerns such as a pothole complaint and fly dumping issues, though these were promptly addressed and marked as closed. The building's record shows only one permit issued during the seven-year review period, which raises questions about proactive maintenance and compliance efforts, particularly in light of the substantial number of violations recorded.

Risk rating

How 5859 N Spaulding 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

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.
