Austin, Chicago IL 60644 16084150140000 20 units · 1927

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 20-unit residential building at 5732 W Washington in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, built in 1927, is currently owned by Hafnium Rental Prop LLC. The property has had minimal documented service requests in the past seven years, with only two incidents recorded through the 311 service system. Both of these incidents occurred relatively recently in 2025, with one being a street cleaning request in November and the other a street light outage complaint in March, both of which have been resolved and closed. The limited number of service requests on record, particularly in recent years, suggests either relatively few problems within the building or potentially incomplete reporting through the 311 system. It's worth noting that both service requests were for municipal services rather than building-specific issues, focusing on street maintenance and public infrastructure rather than the building's internal systems or tenant services.

Risk rating

How 5732 W Washington 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
6thpercentile

Out of 7223 buildings in this neighborhood, 6790 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
