Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 5761 N Ridge Ave in Edgewater, owned by 2 UPSKI LLC, has been standing since 1909 and has experienced a range of maintenance and inspection issues over the past several decades. Most recently, in 2021, there were multiple periodic routine inspection violations recorded (all marked as open and unresolved), suggesting potential ongoing compliance issues. The building has also faced water-related concerns, with three water-in-basement complaints made in March 2026 (one of which is still open) and a sewer cleaning inspection request from March 2026 that remains unresolved. Historical records indicate environmental challenges, with air pollution work orders in 2006 and 2007, illegal dumping incidents in 1994 and 1999, and a hazardous materials complaint in 1998. The building has accumulated ten building violations over the past seven years, along with 28 service requests to 311, though only three building permits were issued in the same period. Administrative hearings in 2006 resulted in fines totaling $400, while a historic ticket issued in 1994 carried a $100 fine, all of which have been marked as closed. The most recent weather-related complaint involved uncleared snow on the sidewalk in December 2025, which was subsequently closed.

Risk rating

How 5761 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

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.
