Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5448 N Kimball Avenue in Chicago's North Park neighborhood, owned by Samuel Betances, has been experiencing notable issues in recent months. Most significantly, two unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded on July 30, 2024, representing the most substantial and recent concerns regarding building code compliance. Additionally, in the first half of 2024, there was one documented 311 service request related to building violations on April 8, though this particular complaint has since been closed. Looking at the building's record over the past seven years, other than the recent violations, there has been minimal activity with only one building permit issued and no additional service requests or violations recorded during this period. The concentration of recent building code violations and the current unresolved status of inspections warrant attention, as they represent the only significant building-related activities on record in recent times.

Risk rating

How 5448 N Kimball 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.
