Initial analysis

The eight-unit residential building at 5857 N Broadway in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, owned by Ahmad AlKhatib, is a century-old structure built in 1908. The building's recent history over the last seven years shows relatively low incident levels, with only seven 311 service requests recorded. However, the pattern of recent complaints is noteworthy, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring in 2025, including sanitation violations and rodent problems in June 2025, followed by utility and infrastructure complaints such as a no-water incident in February 2026 and a tree trimming request in December 2025. The building's owner has maintained proper documentation with only one building violation on record, though there is one environmental complaint noted in the database. While there was only one building permit pulled in the last seven years, the total of 41 service requests attributed to the owner suggests regular interaction with municipal services, though the majority appear to be resolved without escalation. The most recent documented issue was a finance parking code enforcement review in March 2026, indicating active management of the property despite its age and location in a historically diverse neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 5857 N Broadway Chicago'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.
