AI summary

The four-unit residential building at 5342 N Christiana Ave in Chicago's North Park neighborhood is owned by H PAEZ & E&R COBA and dates back to 1921. Over the past seven years, the property has generated a total of 28 service requests through the 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. The current outstanding issues involve two shared cost sidewalk program requests from January 2026, while previous concerns included a street light pole damage complaint and three street cleaning requests in 2025. Notably, the building had an environmental incident in 2017 involving hazardous materials, which was validated and resolved by October of that year. While the recent service requests primarily relate to street maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns, the validated toxic materials complaint from 2017 represents the most significant incident on record, though no similar complaints have been reported in the past six years.

Risk rating

How 5342 N Christiana 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.
