Edgewater, Chicago IL 60660 14053120080000 6 units · 1919

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 5803 N Ridge Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Ana Lukic, has demonstrated a relatively minimal service request history over the past seven years, with a total of nine documented 311 service requests. The building, constructed in 1919, has experienced recurring winter weather-related issues, with three snow or ice-related complaints recorded between November and December 2025, including unresolved snow clearance issues affecting sidewalks. The property has also encountered some infrastructural maintenance needs, as evidenced by an open water lead test kit request from November 2025, which warrants attention given the potential health implications. Other service requests have included a street light outage in September 2025 and two tree trimming requests in December 2024 and November 2024, though these latter requests are no longer being accepted. While the total number of service requests is relatively low for a building of this age and size, the nature and timing of the most recent requests suggest particular attention to winter weather preparedness and water safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 5803 N Ridge 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.

Neighborhood percentile
