Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5717 N Bernard St in North Park, owned by James E. Vineyard, is a 1928 construction that has had minimal service requests over the past seven years, with a total of five recorded incidents. Most notably, there are two active health-related water concerns currently in progress for lead testing kits, with requests made in January 2026 and April 2024, indicating potential ongoing water quality monitoring issues. The remaining three service requests are related to recycling services, with two recycling pickup requests filed and subsequently closed in January 2026, and an earlier request for a blue recycling cart from September 2024 that was also closed. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a multi-unit building, the presence of two open water lead test kit requests in recent years warrants attention as these may impact resident health and safety.

Risk rating

How 5717 N Bernard St 01'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.
