Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5431 N Christiana Ave 1 in Chicago's North Park neighborhood, owned by Alfredo Flores, has been standing since 1925 and is part of a five-parcel ownership arrangement. The property has generated a total of 39 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, with nine of these originating specifically from this address. The most significant cluster of recent activity occurred between June and January 2026, with three separate rodent-related incidents (including two rat complaints and one dead animal pickup request), which may indicate ongoing pest control challenges in the vicinity. The building's maintenance record also shows requests for graffiti removal, tree removal inspection, and a blue recycling cart service between June and September 2025. While all reported issues have been officially closed, the concentration of service requests, particularly those related to pests, suggests that prospective tenants should maintain awareness of the building's recent history regarding urban wildlife interactions and the surrounding environment.

Risk rating

How 5431 N Christiana Ave 1'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
29thpercentile
