Initial analysis

The 71-unit residential building at 5860 N Kenmore in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, managed by Becovic Management, has a documented history dating back to its 1925 construction. Over the past seven years, the property has experienced 17 building violations and 24 service requests through the city's 311 system. Most significantly, there are currently three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations from March 2023, along with one periodic routine inspection violation from May 2024 that remains open. In recent months, there has been at least one rat complaint filed in June 2026 that is also currently open, which could be concerning for resident health and safety. The building has undergone regular periodic inspections, with violations from March 2023 and June 2024 remaining unresolved, though previous violations from these inspections were eventually complied with and resolved. The property has generated multiple finance-related parking code enforcement reviews throughout 2025-2026, with all but one being closed, as well as one renters and foreclosure complaint in February 2026 that has been resolved. The relatively high number of open violations and recent service requests related to pests and parking issues suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges for the property management.

Risk rating

How 5860 N Kenmore 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

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.
