Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5730 N Menard Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Peter & Wendy Weller, has been standing since 1962. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of eight 311 service requests, with the most recent activity occurring in late 2025. The building has experienced several maintenance-related issues in recent months, notably two open sidewalk inspection requests (from April and November 2024) that could potentially affect resident safety and access. The property has also faced challenges with street infrastructure in the surrounding area, including a recent graffiti removal request and a rat complaint in September and July 2025 respectively, though both were subsequently closed. Prior to these recent issues, there were complaints about street lighting and a pothole in the street in late 2024, which have since been addressed. While the service request volume is relatively low compared to other residential properties, the nature and timing of the recent issues suggest a focus on maintaining building access and public infrastructure in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 5730 N Menard 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

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.
