Initial analysis

The 21-unit residential building at 5340 N Kenmore in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Pines of Edgewater I, has been in operation since 1919 and has experienced a number of significant events over the past seven years. Most notably, there is an unresolved building code violation from May 2021 related to a routine inspection, and an open request for a water lead test kit from August 2024, which raises potential health concerns. The property has maintained a relatively low number of building violations with only one on record for the past seven years, but the owner has accumulated a substantial total of 67 building violations across eight parcels in their ownership. 311 service requests show some ongoing infrastructure issues, including a no water complaint in March 2026, though this was closed out. The building has generated four building permits in the past seven years and one environmental complaint, with the owner having obtained 41 building permits across their total holdings. While the property has had multiple service requests (seven in total), most have been resolved, including a sign repair request in May 2024 and two information-only calls to 311 in April 2024. The volume of service requests and permits suggests active management, though the presence of an unresolved building code violation and the recent lead water testing request warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 5340 N Kenmore 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
7thpercentile
