Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5065 N Western Ave in the Lincoln Square neighborhood, owned by Klebic Husein, was constructed in 1911 and has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years. The only documented building code violation during this period dates back to August 2020, when a complaint-driven inspection resulted in an unresolved violation that remains open as of the latest data review. The property has generated four 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent service requests related to snow removal (December 2025), recycling cart services (November 2025), street cleaning (May 2024), and a pothole complaint (April 2024). All four service requests have been addressed and marked as closed. While the building has only one recorded violation in seven years of data, the unresolved nature of the 2020 code violation may warrant attention, though it is worth noting that service requests related to general maintenance and municipal services have been responsibly addressed by the owner.

Risk rating

How 5065 N Western Ave'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
