Initial analysis

The 90-unit residential building at 5909 N Kenmore in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Filip Junkavic, has been standing since 1967 and has experienced some notable issues over the past seven years. Most concerning is a pattern of rodent-related problems, with four reported rodent baiting complaints in late 2025 and one recent complaint in April 2026, though all but one of these have been marked as resolved. The building's compliance record shows one building code violation from August 2019 related to a periodic routine inspection, which has been resolved. While the total number of building permits issued over the past seven years is relatively low at three, the property has generated 20 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period. The most recent service requests include a building violation (currently open) from January 2026 and a parking code enforcement review from March 2026, both of which merit attention. The building's history suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest control, though most issues reported through 311 have been addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 5909 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

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.
