Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5658 N Central Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by FTL Royally LLC, has been in operation since 1957 and most recently underwent significant activity in 2025. The property experienced an unusual cluster of environmental issues in June 2025, with multiple complaints regarding asbestos and illegal dumping, though these incidents were either resolved or deemed valid within a timely manner. The building's environmental enforcement record is particularly notable from 2020 to 2021, when it received five violations related to construction site cleanliness, specifically involving fabric mesh and chain link fence issues, resulting in fines totaling $3,400. Prior to the recent cluster of incidents, the building had only one 311 service request in the past seven years, which was a tree debris clean-up request from August 2025. The property has a total of 8 building violations on record over the past seven years, and 28 service requests filed through 311, though these figures encompass all charges under the corporate ownership rather than just the specific building's unit count. Given the concentration of recent environmental complaints and enforcement actions, particularly during 2025, this building has experienced its most significant issues in recent years, with particular attention needed to the frequency of environmental incidents in June 2025.

Risk rating

How 5658 N Central 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
