Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1907 brick building at 5423 N Ashland Ave in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood, currently owned by Brandon Dubroc, has maintained relatively low-maintenance activity over the past seven years, with only six documented 311 service requests. The most recent activity, totaling four tree-related service requests between March and July 2025, has been the predominant focus of municipal engagement, including two closed tree trim requests and two open tree planting requests. Additionally, there have been two other service requests in 2025: a closed pothole complaint and a closed dead animal pick-up request. The building's service request history shows limited structural or safety concerns, with most requests relating to external municipal service matters rather than building-specific issues. The relatively recent nature of these requests, all from 2025, suggests current engagement with municipal services, though it should be noted that some of these service types, such as tree trim requests, are no longer being accepted according to the city's current service guidelines.

Risk rating

How 5423 N Ashland Ave 2Nd'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.
