Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5535 N Artesian Ave in Lincoln Square, owned by Eleni Kirkpatrick, has been standing since 1929 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning are two open violation cases from October 2024 resulting from complaint-driven inspections that remain unresolved as of October 2023. The property has had a total of six 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent being a water lead test kit request from August 2024 that is still pending resolution. Other recent service requests include completed tasks such as garbage cart maintenance (February 2026), abandoned vehicle complaints (November 2025 and March 2024), tree debris clean-up (August 2024), and a building violation (June 2024) which was resolved. While the building has had some maintenance and service issues requiring attention, the most pressing current concerns appear to be the open violations and pending water lead testing matters.

Risk rating

How 5535 N Artesian 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

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.
