Jefferson Park, Chicago IL 60630 13091140170000 19 units · 1929

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 19-unit, 1929 brick building at 5531 W Farragut in Chicago's Jefferson Park neighborhood, currently owned by Farragut Pacini LLC, has maintained a relatively minimal record of 311 service requests over the past seven years, totaling four documented incidents. The most recent service request, filed in June 2026, pertains to a tree emergency and remains open as of now. Earlier in 2026, there was a water-related issue on the street that has since been resolved. In 2025, two notable incidents were recorded: a tree trimming request in March (though the city had ceased accepting such requests by that time) and a dead animal pick-up request in February, both of which were successfully closed. While the building's service request record is limited, the most recent tree emergency and historical tree-related issues suggest ongoing vegetation management may be a consideration in the neighborhood's upkeep.

Risk rating

How 5531 W Farragut 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.
