Unlock complete reportThe two-unit residential building at 5832 W Walton St in the Austin neighborhood, owned by Family Snowball LLC, has a significant history of unresolved issues dating back to 2019. The most pressing concerns are six open building code violations from November and December 2019, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections, indicating persistent problems that have not been rectified over an extended period. While the building has generated 11 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, most of these recent activities (from 2025-2026) have been routine maintenance or municipal service matters, including tree services and garbage cart maintenance, rather than addressing the building's internal conditions or safety concerns. The most recent documented service request was for tree debris clean-up in April 2026, while earlier requests included water lead test kit and garbage cart maintenance needs, suggesting some focus on basic infrastructure and environmental safety checks. The building's age (constructed in 1903) and violation history warrant attention, particularly given the unresolved nature of the 2019 code violations, though it's worth noting that many recent service requests relate to exterior maintenance and municipal services rather than internal building conditions.

How 5832 W Walton St'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.
Out of 7212 buildings in this neighborhood, 6779 are predicted to be safer.
