Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5832 W Cornelia Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Ignacy J Faustmann, has been standing since 1916 and has generated a total of 20 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. Most notably, there is currently an open violation regarding unauthorized building permit and construction activity as of May 2026, which represents a significant potential concern for resident safety and compliance. The property has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues in the recent past, including a rodent infestation complaint in August 2025, garbage cart maintenance issues in April 2025, and both sidewalk and public way inspections requested in March and April 2025 respectively. An abandoned vehicle complaint was also filed and subsequently closed in March 2026. While some of these issues have been resolved, the open construction violation from May 2026 and the historical pattern of maintenance-related service requests suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep and regulatory compliance.

Risk rating

How 5832 W Cornelia 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.
