Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5041 N Northwest Highway in Jefferson Park, owned by Robert T Gannon, was constructed in 1906 and has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with only three documented incidents. Most recently, in May 2026, there was a report of an injured animal near the property, though this particular issue appears to have been resolved promptly. Earlier that same year, in October 2024, a tree emergency was reported and subsequently closed, indicating some level of tree-related concern on the property or nearby. In June 2024, a cab service feedback request was registered, which seems to be unrelated to the building's condition or resident experience. Looking further back in history, there was one notable environmental complaint from April 2007 regarding air pollution, though no specific resolution details are available for this incident. Overall, the documented history shows minimal service requests and complaints in recent years, with the most significant environmental incident being nearly two decades old.

Risk rating

How 5041 N Northwest Hwy'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.
