AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5407 N Magnet Ave 2 in Jefferson Park is a 1923 structure currently owned by Carol Santiago. The property's documented service history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only two 311 service requests on record. The most recent request, from January 2026, pertains to the Shared Cost Sidewalk Program and is currently open, indicating potential ongoing sidewalk maintenance or improvement needs in the vicinity. Prior to that, a tree debris clean-up request was submitted and successfully closed in June 2025, suggesting that the property experienced at least one instance of landscape or weather-related maintenance. Given the building's age and the relatively limited number of service requests on record, these maintenance issues appear to be routine rather than indicative of any underlying problems.

Risk rating

How 5407 N Magnet Ave 2'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.
