Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building located at 5982 N Ridge in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood is a 1921 structure currently owned by Nicole Thomas. The property's record over the past seven years shows minimal major issues, with only one building code violation recorded during this period - a complaint-driven inspection from September 2023 that remains unresolved as of the latest data. The building has generated a total of 13 city service requests through the 311 system, though these primarily relate to external infrastructure issues rather than building-specific problems. Most of these requests were for street-related concerns, including multiple street light outages (December 2025 and January 2026), a pothole complaint (February 2026), and an inspect public way request (May 2026). Additionally, there was one fly dumping complaint (August 2025) and a 311 information only call (October 2025). The relative frequency of street light and public way issues in the vicinity, while notable, pertains to neighborhood infrastructure rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 5982 N Ridge 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.

Neighborhood percentile
14thpercentile

Out of 1377 buildings in this neighborhood, 1184 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
