AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 5935 W Irving Park Rd in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by AM & F Brothers LLC, has been in service since 1919 and has experienced minimal documented issues in recent years. The property has had two documented building code violations in the past seven years, with the most recent being an open violation from May 2026 related to a periodic routine inspection, while a previous violation from May 2024 was resolved. Additionally, there have been two 311 service requests during this period: a sanitation code violation complaint in February 2026 and an alley light outage complaint in September 2025, both of which have been closed. The relatively low number of violations and service requests over this seven-year period, along with the age of the building, suggests that while there are some ongoing maintenance and safety monitoring requirements, these have generally been addressed in a timely manner, with the exception of the most recent open violation.

Risk rating

How 5935 W Irving Park Rd'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.
