Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5339 W Winnemac Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Yajie Zou, has shown a concerning pattern of pest control issues in recent months. Between February 2026 and May 2026, there were seven documented complaints regarding rodent activity at the property, all of which have been officially closed but indicate an ongoing pest management challenge for the building. This recent cluster of rodent-related complaints represents the majority of service requests made to the 311 system for this property over the past seven years, suggesting that while the issue appears to have been addressed promptly through official channels, it may reflect ongoing maintenance or environmental challenges in the building's surroundings. The structure itself, built in 1923, has had a total of 42 service requests filed through the 311 system in the past seven years, though the specific nature of these other requests is not detailed in the provided data. While the rodent complaints have been resolved according to the system records, the frequency of these incidents over a relatively short period would merit attention, though no other recent complaints have been filed since May 2026.

Risk rating

How 5339 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

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.
