AI summary

The three-unit, 1915 vintage building at 5859 N Magnolia Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, currently owned by Adan Moreno, has had a modest record of city service interactions over the past seven years, totaling six documented 311 requests. The most recent activity from 2025 includes a water lead test kit request, which was appropriately closed, showing attention to water safety concerns. Notably, there was a cluster of yard waste pick-up requests in mid-2025 (four requests between March and July), suggesting either seasonal maintenance work or efforts to manage landscaping needs. The building's only other documented service request was made in August 2024 for a public way inspection, which was also resolved. While the property has had several documented service interactions, none of the requests indicate any significant maintenance issues or safety concerns within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 5859 N Magnolia 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

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.
