AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 5545 N Glenwood Ave in the Andersonville neighborhood, owned by Timothy Hurley, has been standing since 1908. The property has had minimal documented activity over the past seven years, with a total of seven 311 service requests. The most notable pattern in recent months has been a series of rodent-related complaints in February 2026, with three separate reports filed through different channels including both the City Services and Alderman's office. In terms of less critical issues, there was a tree trimming request made in March 2025, which was no longer being accepted by the time of the complaint, and an abandoned vehicle complaint filed in April 2026. A general information call to 311 City Services was also recorded in March 2026. While the number of complaints is relatively low for an older building in Chicago, the recent cluster of rodent-related issues in early 2026 stands out as the most significant concern on the property's record.

Risk rating

How 5545 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

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.
