Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5730 N McVicker Ave in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, owned by Kazimierz Wdowiak, has maintained a relatively low volume of municipal service requests over the past seven years, with only three recorded incidents. The property's records show two tree-related service requests in close proximity to each other, with a tree emergency reported in June 2024 followed by a tree trimming request in May 2026, though it's worth noting that the latter type of request is no longer being accepted. The third and most recent service request on record was for a sidewalk inspection in October 2024, which was handled by the Chicago Department of Transportation and has since been closed. The building, constructed in 1930, occupies a single parcel of land and has had no documented complaints or service requests related to unit conditions or resident safety during this period, suggesting relatively stable building maintenance overall.

Risk rating

How 5730 N Mcvicker 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.
