Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5943 W Rice Street in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, built in 1889, is currently owned by GGC Ventures LLC. The property has a concerning history of building violations, with a total of 94 recorded over the past seven years. While the building has experienced relatively few 311 service requests (only 5 in the past 7 years), there has been a notable cluster of tree-related issues in 2025, with three separate requests for tree services, including emergencies and removal inspections, all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was one building violation and one garbage cart maintenance request, both of which have also been closed. The property has only one recorded building permit and one environmental complaint in the past seven years, though these records may not represent the complete history of the building's condition and maintenance. While the building's age is considerable, having been constructed over 130 years ago, the relatively recent pattern of service requests and violations should be noted, particularly given that most of these occurred within a single calendar year and were mostly related to tree maintenance issues.

Risk rating

How 5943 W Rice 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

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
37thpercentile
