5500 W Augusta Blvd

The two-unit residential building at 5500 W Augusta Blvd in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a historic structure dating back to 1888, currently owned by James Johnson. The building's recent maintenance and service record shows minimal activity, with only three 311 service requests in the past seven years, all of which have been properly closed. These requests included a sewer cleaning inspection in March 2026, a street light outage complaint in November 2024, and a recycling pickup request in September 2024. The property owner has seven total parcels under their ownership, and while there have been some building violations recorded (eight in total over seven years), the number of building permits pulled (six) suggests regular maintenance and even some improvements to the property. It's worth noting that the majority of the service requests and permits are handled at the ownership level rather than the individual building level, with the owner having generated a total of 54 service requests and six building permits in their name over the past seven years. The building's age and two-unit configuration are consistent with typical Victorian-era structures found throughout Chicago, though the relatively low number of recent complaints and service requests may indicate stable property management.
