AI summary

The three-unit, three-story multi-family building at 5036 N Leavitt St 2 in Lincoln Square, owned by Johann Lee, has been standing since 1913. The property's recent service request history over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with a total of eight 311 service requests recorded. The most recent incidents, occurring in October 2025, involved two separate dead animal pick-up requests, representing the most recent pattern of service needs for the property. Prior to that, there were three water-related service requests between April and August 2024-2025, including two street water complaints and one water lead test kit request, which may be of particular interest given potential health implications. The building's infrastructure and surrounding environment periodically required attention to street lighting, as evidenced by a street light out complaint in October 2024. Looking further back into the building's history, there was a documented air pollution complaint in May 1997, though this appears to be the only environmental incident on record.

Risk rating

How 5036 N Leavitt St 2'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.
