Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5512 N Glenwood Ave in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood is a century-old property constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Christian Schaller. The building's recent maintenance history, particularly over the past seven years, reflects relatively minimal resident-initiated service requests, with only four 311 service requests directly related to the building itself. Of greater note are two dead animal pick-up requests recorded in July and October 2024, which, while not directly impacting building safety, may reflect on the property's immediate surroundings. The property has also been addressed for tree trimming (February 2025) and most recently, a water lead test visit request (November 2025), suggesting ongoing attention to environmental health concerns. The owner, Christian Schaller, is associated with a total of two parcels and has generated 22 total 311 service requests across his properties during this period, though only a small fraction of these relate directly to this specific building.

Risk rating

How 5512 N Glenwood 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
