Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5351 W Winnemac Avenue in Jefferson Park, owned by Freida E. Hugueth, has been standing since 1924 and has maintained relatively minimal activity in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been ten 311 service requests associated with the property and only one building permit application on record. Notably, in early 2026, there were two sewer-related incidents requiring inspection, one through the Streets and Sanitation department and another via the Alderman's office, which may indicate infrastructure concerns. The property has had some unrelated municipal service requests, including two abandoned vehicle complaints in 2025 and a water lead test kit request in April 2025, though these issues appear to be external to the building itself. The record shows a total of three service requests in 2026 alone, all of which have been marked as closed, indicating the issues were addressed. The limited number of building permits (only one in the past seven years) and relatively low volume of service requests might suggest either stable building conditions or minimal reporting of issues, though without specific details on the nature of the building permit, no assumptions can be made about its significance.

Risk rating

How 5351 W Winnemac Ave'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.
