Initial analysis

The 35-unit apartment building at 5801 N Kenmore in the Edgewater neighborhood is a 1914 structure currently owned by CURT ARDMORE LLC. The building's records over the past seven years show a relatively low number of 311 service requests, with a total of 12 recorded incidents. There are several active and recent concerns that warrant attention: two open violations as of June 2026 (a building violation and a sign repair request), an open sidewalk inspection request from August 2025, and a closed parking code enforcement review from March 2026. While most of the 311 calls have been resolved, the presence of multiple open service requests related to building conditions, signage, and sidewalk safety indicates several ongoing maintenance and safety matters. The building's service request history shows a pattern of typical urban building issues, but the most pressing concerns appear to be the three unresolved matters from 2025-2026, particularly the building violation and sidewalk inspection request, which could potentially affect resident safety and accessibility.

Risk rating

How 5801 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.
