Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5752 N Elston Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Ivan Petrov Todorov, was constructed in 1993 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. The most notable and concerning pattern of problems involves water-related services, with two "No Water Complaint" incidents reported in February 2026, and a "Check for Leak" request in May 2025. While all service requests have been resolved and marked as closed, the recurring water-related issues suggest potential ongoing infrastructure challenges. Additionally, there was a sewer cleaning inspection request in April 2026, which, while routine, indicates attention to the building's waste management systems. The property has also required garbage cart maintenance services, as evidenced by a service request from February 2025. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of five documented service requests, with the most recent being from April 2026, suggesting relatively active maintenance engagement compared to some other properties of similar size and age in the area.

Risk rating

How 5752 N Elston 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.
