Initial analysis

The 13-unit residential building at 5458 N Broadway in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by 33 Cap Partners LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, the property is currently facing multiple unresolved periodic routine inspection violations as of August 2025, though there have been some resolved violations from the same inspection period. A complaint-driven inspection from July 2021 also remains open and unresolved. The building has a documented pattern of graffiti issues, with five graffiti removal requests filed and closed between February and June 2026, along with one ongoing sign repair request from February 2026. While there was an environmental complaint related to construction and demolition in 2020, this was investigated and found to have no violations. The building's permit activity has been limited, with only two permits issued in the past seven years, suggesting minimal proactive maintenance or improvements during this period.

Risk rating

How 5458 N Broadway Chicago'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
