Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 5110 N Broadway St in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by the Vietnamese Association, has a documented history dating back to its 1908 construction. The property has experienced relatively few documented issues over the past seven years, with only one building code violation recorded in July 2020 that remains open and unresolved as of now. The building has generated a total of 22 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent activity in June 2026 showing multiple open sign repair requests, including six requests made within a three-day period from June 1 to June 3, 2026. Prior to this cluster of sign-related issues, the building had only one environmental complaint regarding air pollution in June 2024, which was investigated but found no violation, and another air pollution complaint from July 2001, suggesting that environmental concerns have been infrequent. While the number of service requests seems high at first glance, it's worth noting that the recent batch of sign repair requests appears to be related to an ongoing maintenance issue rather than chronic building problems.

Risk rating

How 5110 N Broadway St'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.
