Jefferson Park, Chicago IL 60646 13054310180000 8 units · 1927

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 5707 W Seminole in Chicago's Jefferson Park neighborhood, owned by Major Seminole LLC, has been standing since 1927 and has experienced relatively minimal documented activity over the past seven years. The property has generated three 311 service requests, with the most recent activity occurring in October 2024, including requests for tree debris clean-up and graffiti removal, both of which have been resolved. Earlier in 2024, there was a closed request for a tree removal inspection. In addition to these service requests, two building permits have been recorded for the property in the same seven-year timeframe, though specific details of these permits are not available in the provided data. The low number of service requests and permits over this period suggests limited recent major maintenance or incident history, though it's worth noting that not all building issues may be captured through these official channels.

Risk rating

How 5707 W Seminole Chicago'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.
