AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5855 N Nagle Ave in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by Joel Gonzalez, has maintained a relatively low incidence of reported issues over the past seven years. Built in 1967, this property has generated only one official 311 service request in that timeframe, with the most recent recorded incident being an information-only call placed in August 2024 that has since been closed. While the owner maintains three parcels in total, comprising three separate properties, the combined total of official service requests across these properties in the past seven years amounts to 13, though it's worth noting that the majority of these requests appear to be related to non-urgent matters requiring information rather than indicating any significant building concerns.

Risk rating

How 5855 N Nagle Ave 1St'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.
