Unlock complete reportThis 20-unit residential building at 5503 N Campbell in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Kemal Sabovic, has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved building code violations in 2025, with six complaint-driven inspections documented in June and September that remain open as of October 2023. The building's recent history shows significant activity in terms of building-related issues, with five documented building violations between June and September 2025, though all previous service requests from 2025 (including four building violation complaints) have been properly closed. The building's violation record over the past seven years indicates a total of 10 building violations and 15 service requests, while the owner has accumulated 22 violations and 19 service requests across two parcels, suggesting some level of persistent maintenance or compliance challenges. The property, constructed in 1929, has only obtained two building permits in the past seven years, and there is one documented violation related to house share prohibition. The concentration of unresolved building code violations in 2025, particularly in the summer months, is notable and may indicate ongoing maintenance or compliance issues requiring attention.

How 5503 N Campbell Chicago'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.
