AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5418 N Sawyer Ave in Chicago's North Park neighborhood has experienced a number of service requests in recent years, all of which have been resolved. The property, owned by Khalid Bin Walid, was constructed in 1922 and has had a relatively low volume of service requests, with just five recorded in the past seven years. The most recent incident, a sanitation code violation, was reported and closed in May 2025. Prior to that, there was a sequence of tree-related activities in mid-2024, including both a tree planting request and a tree removal inspection on June 3, as well as a tree debris clean-up request on November 1 of the same year. Additionally, in May 2024, there was a cab feedback service request. It's noteworthy that while the building has had several tree-related interactions with city services, these appear to be routine maintenance matters rather than urgent safety concerns, and all issues have been properly closed out in the city's system.

Risk rating

How 5418 N Sawyer 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.
