AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 5937 W Rice St in the Austin neighborhood, owned by Marcus Bassett, dates back to 1898 and has relatively minimal recorded activity over the past seven years. The property's documented service requests primarily relate to external maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, with a total of five 311 service requests filed between 2024 and 2026. These requests include three instances of garbage cart maintenance (April 2024 and March 2026), two tree emergency reports (July 2024 and June 2026), and one request for blue recycling cart services (March 2026). The building's permit activity is notably low, with only a single building permit recorded in the past seven years, though it's worth noting that not all minor repairs or maintenance work necessarily requires permits. Given the age of the building, which is over 125 years old, the relatively limited number of service requests and permits on record could suggest either careful maintenance practices or potential underreporting of issues.

Risk rating

How 5937 W Rice St 3Rd'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.
