Initial analysis

The 40-unit residential building at 5029 N Kenmore in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, owned by Kenmore 5029 LLC, has been standing since 2000 and has experienced a relatively stable record over the past seven years. The property has maintained only one building code violation during this period, though notably, a periodic routine inspection violation remains open as of September 2024. The building's 311 service request history indicates some ongoing maintenance and regulatory concerns, with the most recent requests showing particular attention to infrastructure issues. Currently, there are two open issues: a water on street complaint from April 2026 and a no building permit and construction violation from May 2025. The property has also experienced plumbing-related problems, with two plumbing violation complaints filed and subsequently closed in September and October 2025. Other resolved issues include an alley pothole complaint (June 2025) and a tree trim request (April 2026). While the building's violation and service request history is not excessively long, the presence of multiple open violations and complaints, particularly regarding plumbing and construction-related issues, suggests some areas of ongoing concern that may impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 5029 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

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.
