AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 5715 N Cicero Ave, owned by Berten T Johnson, is a 1969 construction located in the Sauganash and Forest Glen neighborhoods. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows a relatively low volume of city service requests, with a total of four recorded incidents under the 311 system. Most recently, on May 18, 2024, there were two separate reports of injured animals in the vicinity of the property, both of which have been closed. Prior to these incidents, there was a graffiti removal request on May 7, 2024, and a tree planting request on March 27, 2024, both of which were also closed. The building's service request history suggests minimal maintenance issues directly associated with the property itself, as all recorded incidents appear to be related to external environmental concerns rather than structural or systemic building problems.

Risk rating

How 5715 N Cicero 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

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.
