Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5844 N Moody Ave in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by Jonathan Rodriguez Men, has experienced several notable incidents over the past seven years since its construction in 1921. Most concerning are the five open and unresolved building code violations identified through complaint-driven inspections in 2025-2026, which remain active as of October 2023. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests, including two building violation reports (one filed in October 2025 and another in March 2026) that have been addressed and closed. Other service requests appear to be street and parking-related issues, such as a street light outage in January 2026, two parking code enforcement reviews in November 2025, and an abandoned vehicle complaint in October 2025; all of these non-building related issues have been closed. While the building's history shows some code violations requiring attention, it's important to note that the most recent building violations are from early 2026, suggesting ongoing concerns that may affect resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 5844 N Moody 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.
