Initial analysis

The five-unit residential building at 5345 W North Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Habeer Boulos Abed, is a 1925 construction with minimal documented service requests over the past seven years. The building's maintenance record shows three 311 service requests, with the most recent occurring in October 2025 for garbage cart maintenance, while a September 2025 sign repair request remains open. Prior to these, a similar garbage cart maintenance issue was reported and resolved in April 2024. The property's service request history appears relatively limited, with no recorded complaints or safety concerns, though the two recent garbage cart maintenance requests in particular suggest there may be ongoing challenges with waste management infrastructure. The open sign repair request from September 2025 could warrant attention to ensure proper visibility and communication within the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 5345 W North 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.
