Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5507 N Glenwood Ave in Andersonville, owned by Gaston Garcia, is a 1909 construction that has undergone limited documented issues over the past seven years. The property's most recent activity in 2025-2026 shows several municipal service requests, primarily focused on tree maintenance and sanitation concerns, including two tree trimming requests and a sanitation code violation in 2025, as well as yard waste pick-up and a water lead test visit request. Of particular note is a noise complaint filed in April 2026, though this was investigated and determined to lack sufficient evidence of violation. The building's total documented service requests over the past seven years stands at 13, with one environmental complaint, both of which are relatively low numbers for an urban residential property of this age and size. The recurring nature of tree-related service requests suggests an ongoing concern with vegetation management in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 5507 N Glenwood Ave 1'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.
