Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5352 W Roscoe St in the Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Grazyna Kruk, has a relatively clean record since its construction in 1929. However, there are some notable recent issues that potential tenants should be aware of. Most significantly, there is an unresolved building code violation from June 2021 that was triggered by a complaint-driven inspection, though the specific nature of this violation is not detailed in the records. The property has experienced a concerning pattern of nuisance animal complaints, with three such incidents reported between April and September 2025, all of which have been resolved. While this recent cluster of animal-related issues has been addressed, it suggests a potentially recurring concern within the building or immediate vicinity. The building's overall record shows only one building violation and three service requests in the past seven years, indicating relatively limited issues compared to many other properties, though the age of the building and the presence of an unresolved violation warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 5352 W Roscoe St'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.

Neighborhood percentile
