Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5633 N Milwaukee Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Waldemar Koszela and constructed in 1971, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years that warrant attention. The property has three unresolved building code violations dating back to May 2021 related to periodic routine inspections, and a more recent inspection-related violation from August 2023 that remains open. The building has documented 12 service requests from the owner over this period, with the majority of recent activity (2024) focusing on pest management, including two rodent-related complaints in June and November. Other 311 service requests from 2024 include an abandoned vehicle complaint and a tree debris clean-up request, both of which have been resolved, as well as an open sidewalk inspection request from July 2024. The building's record shows relatively few permits issued over the seven-year period, with only two building permits on file.

Risk rating

How 5633 N Milwaukee 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.
