Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5328 W Kenzie St, owned by Glinda Goffin and located in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, has been standing since 1908. The property has experienced persistent unresolved building code violations over the past several years, with multiple complaint-driven inspections recorded in June 2019 and at least one additional violation noted in May 2022 that remains open. These ongoing violations suggest potential regulatory compliance issues that could affect resident safety and comfort. The building has generated a total of 12 service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years, though these appear to be primarily related to external maintenance and neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific issues. Recent service requests from 2025-2026 include various municipal matters such as street light maintenance, garbage cart maintenance, and pest control (rodent issues), all of which have been closed out. While these external issues don't directly reflect on the building's conditions, they do indicate some level of ongoing maintenance requirements in the vicinity. It's notable that the most recent building code violations on record date back to 2022, though these are not as recent as some of the external service requests.

Risk rating

How 5328 W Kinzie St 1'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.
