AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5641 W Higgins Rd 2A in Jefferson Park, owned by M Popil, has been in operation since 1976 and has had a total of 18 documented service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The most recent activity includes an open sidewalk inspection request from March 2026, which requires monitoring for eventual resolution. The property has experienced recurring issues with street maintenance, as evidenced by three pothole complaints in 2025 (April, June, and a separate complaint in December 2024), all of which were successfully closed. The building's recycling services have been actively managed, with two blue recycling cart requests in 2025 (July and August) that were both closed, indicating proper waste management practices are being followed. While the sidewalk inspection request stands out as the most recent and currently unresolved issue, the pattern of service requests suggests routine maintenance and civic engagement on behalf of the property owner and residents, with most issues being addressed through the appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 5641 W Higgins Rd 2A'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.
