Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5041 N Northwest Highway in Jefferson Park, owned by Juan Villada, is a century-old property constructed in 1906. The building's documented service history over the past 17 years shows relatively few incidents directly related to the property itself, with a total of five 311 service requests in the past seven years. Most of these recent requests have been focused on exterior and public space issues rather than building-specific concerns, including a tree emergency (October 2024), tree debris clean-up (December 2021), and tree trimming (May 2021). Other service requests have been for unrelated matters such as cab feedback (June 2024) and garbage cart maintenance (May 2023). An environmental complaint regarding air pollution was filed in April 2007, representing the only documented environmental concern for this address.

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

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.

Neighborhood percentile
34thpercentile
