AI summary

The property at 5707 N Glenwood Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1913 and currently owned by Jose Martinez. The building's recent history, dating back to 2024-2025, has shown some concerning maintenance patterns, with the most recent incidents including rodent issues, street water problems, and an abandoned vehicle case, all of which were resolved through the city's 311 system. Looking at the broader picture over the past seven years, the building has recorded a total of 26 building violations, which could indicate ongoing maintenance or compliance challenges. The property has generated 153 service requests from the owner while only receiving four building permits, suggesting limited recent investment in structural improvements or major maintenance work. While the three most recent 311 service requests were successfully closed, the nature and frequency of various complaints raise questions about the building's overall maintenance and habitability during this period.

Risk rating

How 5707 N Glenwood 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.
