Initial analysis

The 5-unit residential building at 5940 W Gunnison St 2S in Jefferson Park, owned by J & K Skorupa and constructed in 1958, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The building currently has multiple open building code violations from March 2025 and December 2025, all of which were triggered by complaint-driven inspections, indicating ongoing unresolved concerns that may affect resident safety or comfort. The property has also generated multiple service requests over the past two years, including two building violation reports in late 2024 and mid-2025, a water leak check in July 2025, and an ice and snow removal request in January 2025. These service requests have been resolved, though their frequency suggests recurring maintenance concerns. Of historical note, there was an air pollution complaint recorded against the property in September 2008, though no other environmental issues have been documented in recent years. The cumulative record of violations and service requests indicates a building with ongoing maintenance challenges that warrant attention, particularly given the relatively recent cluster of building code violations.

Risk rating

How 5940 W Gunnison St 2S'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.
