Initial analysis

The three-story, nine-unit residential building at 5725 W North Chicago, located in the Austin neighborhood and owned by Sylvia & John Shin, has been in operation since 1933 and encompasses two parcels of property. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years, with a particular cluster of incidents occurring in 2022 when three complaint-driven inspections were conducted on May 19, 2022, resulting in one violation being resolved while two others remain open and unresolved. The property has generated a total of 21 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent requests clustering around 2025-2026 and focusing primarily on water-related issues and street lighting concerns. Specifically, there were two no water complaints (one in May 2026 and one in July 2025) and multiple street light-related issues, including two street light out complaints (October and November 2025) and a street light pole damage complaint from June 2025, with the November street light issue still showing as open. The building's record shows a total of 32 service requests associated with the ownership group over the past seven years, though it's worth noting that the majority of the recent service requests appear to be infrastructure-related problems rather than internal building issues.

Risk rating

How 5725 W North 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
