Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5927 N Milwaukee Ave in Norwood Park, owned by CTLTC, has been in operation since 1979 and has maintained one parcel under its ownership. The property has experienced several maintenance and environmental issues over the past 14 years, with the most immediate concern being an open sewer cave-in inspection request from May 2026, which represents a potential risk to resident health and safety. In the last seven years alone, there have been five service requests logged, with the most significant cluster of reports occurring between October 2024-2026, including two waste management-related requests for blue recycling and garbage cart maintenance. The building's maintenance history shows recurring environmental concerns, with two air pollution work orders filed in January 2010, though these appeared to be isolated incidents as no further complaints of this nature have been recorded since. Additionally, there was a leak inspection request filed in January 2026 that has since been resolved, and a graffiti removal request from the same month that has been completed. While the building's overall service request history shows regular maintenance needs typical of a two-unit structure, the open sewer-related concern as of May 2026 warrants particular attention.

Risk rating

How 5927 N Milwaukee 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.
