Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5863 N Nagle Ave in Norwood Park, owned by Slawomir Balchanowski and constructed in 1954, has garnered attention for several concerning issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an unresolved building code violation as of August 2024 related to a complaint-driven inspection, which marks the only building violation on record in the past seven years. The property has experienced a notable cluster of rodent-related issues, with five separate rodent baiting/rat complaints filed between May and October 2025, all of which have been closed. Additionally, there have been other maintenance concerns addressed through 311 service requests, including a garbage cart maintenance issue in September 2025 and a tree debris clean-up request in May 2025, both of which were resolved. While the building has only one recorded building permit in the past seven years, the frequency of rodent-related complaints and the recent open building code violation warrant attention to resident comfort and safety, though all other reported issues have been appropriately addressed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 5863 N Nagle Ave 1'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.
