AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5338 N Christiana Ave in Chicago's North Park neighborhood, owned by Aldrin Mayen, has maintained a relatively stable profile since its construction in 1916. The property has generated a total of 21 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, though notably, all recent complaints from 2025-2026 have centered around abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with five such reports filed between November 2025 and March 2026. Other recent municipal concerns included an alley pothole complaint and a street light outage, both of which were resolved through normal channels. The record shows only one building permit application in the past seven years, though the nature and outcome of this permit are not specified in the available data. While the volume of service requests may suggest some localized concerns in the immediate area, particularly regarding parking issues, these complaints appear to relate primarily to street conditions rather than direct building or tenant-related issues.

Risk rating

How 5338 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.
