Initial analysis

The 8-unit residential building at 5802 W Iowa in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by PP FIN CHICAGO 38 LLC, has experienced several notable events in recent years that warrant attention. Currently, there are three unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations as of June 2024 that remain open and undisclosed, which is significant considering the building's total of three building violations on record over the past seven years. The property has been subject to multiple 311 service requests, with a total of nine recorded specifically for this building over the past seven years, and 29 requests attributed to the owner's other parcels. Recent weather-related events have been a consistent theme, with three snow-related complaints (two for uncleared sidewalks and one for ice/snow removal) in early 2026, as well as a tree emergency response in October 2025. The building has also faced some maintenance challenges, including two tree trim requests in January 2026 (though this service is no longer being accepted) and a dead animal pick-up request in December 2025. While the property has obtained three building permits in the past seven years, the most pressing concern appears to be the recent open violations from June 2024, which mark the building's first documented code violations in this period.

Risk rating

How 5802 W Iowa 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
5thpercentile
