Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5621 N Kimball Ave in Chicago's North Park neighborhood, owned by Chong Sun Lee, has experienced multiple regulatory challenges over the past several years. Built in 1954, this property has accumulated a total of nine building code violations in the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of issues emerging in November 2020. During this period, three complaint-driven inspections were conducted, with one violation being resolved while two others remain open and unresolved. Earlier, in July 2019, another series of three complaint-driven inspections was carried out, showing a similar pattern of regulatory concerns with two violations remaining unresolved and one having been properly addressed. The presence of multiple unresolved violations, particularly in these two recent inspection periods, may indicate ongoing maintenance or compliance issues within the building, though it's important to note that some violations have been resolved through proper remediation.

Risk rating

How 5621 N Kimball 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

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.
