Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 5706 N Clark Street in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood is a 131-year-old structure currently owned by 5706 CLARK LLC. According to the building's master record, there has been minimal documented activity over the past seven years, with only one building permit issued during this period. The property has experienced very few incidents requiring city intervention, with just one building code violation and two 311 service requests on record. The most significant concern is an open building code violation from May 2022, which remains unresolved as of the current date. The two 311 service requests were relatively recent, with one filed in November 2024 regarding water on the street, and another in August 2024 related to finance parking code enforcement; both of these issues have been closed. Given the age of the building and the limited number of documented issues over the past seven years, the record suggests a generally stable property, though the open building code violation from 2022 warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 5706 N Clark 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
