Initial analysis

The 5-unit residential building at 5211 N Glenwood Ave in Andersonville, owned by 690 LEON DR LLC 5211, has been standing since 1909 and has maintained a relatively low frequency of reported issues over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 10 service requests during this period, though notably only one of these was related to a house share prohibition violation, suggesting generally responsible ownership practices in this regard. The most recent cluster of service requests occurred in 2025, with five distinct issues reported between January and July of that year, including two tree trim requests, two abandoned vehicle complaints, and a weed removal request. Additionally, there was one water-on-street complaint during this period. All these issues were successfully resolved, as indicated by their "Closed" status. The building's service request record appears to be primarily focused on exterior maintenance and neighborhood concerns rather than internal building issues, and the relatively stable ownership pattern and low violation rate over multiple years could be interpreted as a positive sign of property management stability, though it should be noted that the majority of recorded issues are somewhat dated given the current year is 2023.

Risk rating

How 5211 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.
