Initial analysis

The 52-unit residential building at 5330 N Damen in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood, managed by JIR Management Inc, has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny over the past year. Currently, there are multiple open building code violations, including four complaint-driven violations and one permit-related violation from January and May 2023, respectively. This building has also been the subject of 38 building violations and 14 service requests under its current ownership in the past seven years. Despite these challenges, the property has had three service requests in the most recent seven-year period, all of which have been resolved, including a graffiti removal request and a tree trimming request from April 2026, as well as a rodent baiting/rat complaint from July 2024. The building's permit history shows some activity, with five permits issued in the past seven years, though it's worth noting that the most recent violation as of October 2023 is related to periodic routine inspection requirements. While the building has met basic service request closure requirements, the clustering of open violations in 2023, particularly in the areas of complaint-driven inspections and permit-related issues, suggests a current period of regulatory attention that may impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 5330 N Damen 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.
