Initial analysis

The 31-unit residential building at 5054 N Glenwood in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by North Glenwood LLC, has been in operation since 1913. The building's recent history (most notably in 2025-2026) indicates recurring issues with water service, as evidenced by multiple "No Water Complaint" reports in January 2026, suggesting a potentially concerning pattern of water-related problems that could affect resident comfort and quality of life. Additionally, there were two street cleaning requests recorded in November 2025, though these are generally routine municipal matters. A sanitation code violation was also logged in early November 2025, which could indicate concerns about building maintenance or cleanliness standards. While the building has maintained relatively few service requests overall (15 in the past seven years), it's noteworthy that there has been only one house share prohibition violation on record during this period, suggesting generally good compliance with local housing regulations regarding short-term rentals.

Risk rating

How 5054 N Glenwood 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

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.
