Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1920 vintage building at 5429 W Walton St in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Junior & Pamela Rose, has had a relatively modest history of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of four recorded incidents. The most recent service request, filed in April 2026, is for a water lead test kit, which remains open and could potentially impact resident safety depending on the testing outcomes. Prior to this, there were two separate tree debris clean-up requests in 2025 (one from April and another from June), both of which have been successfully closed. The building also had a garbage cart maintenance request in December 2024 that was resolved. While the number of service requests is not excessively high, the nature of the most recent open request regarding water testing stands out as the most significant building concern on record.

Risk rating

How 5429 W Walton St 1St'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.
