Initial analysis

The 5-unit residential building at 5800 N Major Avenue in the Jefferson Park neighborhood, owned by KARAM RESIDENCE LLC, has experienced several maintenance and public safety issues over the past seven years. While the property itself has had minimal direct complaints (with only one request for a water lead test kit currently remaining open), the surrounding infrastructure has seen recurring problems, particularly with street conditions. The most prevalent issue has been potholes, with three separate complaints filed between June and February 2025, all of which were successfully resolved. In addition to the street maintenance issues, there have been concerns regarding public health and safety in the vicinity, including an open water lead testing request (the most significant current concern), a closed rodent complaint from August 2024, and a tree trimming request from April 2025 that is no longer being accepted. Given the age of the building (constructed in 1957) and the relatively low number of complaints directly related to the property itself, the records suggest that most reported issues have been focused on external infrastructure rather than the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 5800 N Major 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.

Neighborhood percentile
