Initial analysis

The 16-unit residential building at 5322 W Washington in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Equity Trust Company, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years. A significant open building code violation related to a periodic routine inspection has been recorded since June 2022, representing the only building violation on record in the past seven years. The property has seen an unusual spike in plumbing-related issues in early 2026, with multiple service requests in January of that year including three leak-related complaints, a no water complaint, and a water-in-basement complaint, all of which were subsequently closed. Additionally, there was a plumbing violation that was reported and closed in April 2026. Earlier service history shows relatively minimal activity, with a total of 12 service requests to the building over seven years, though the owner has had a total of 48 service requests across four parcels according to the master record. Building permit activity has been limited, with only three permits issued to the owner in the past seven years. The only historical environmental complaint dates back to February 2010, concerning illegal dumping, which was addressed through a work order. While the building's records show multiple recent plumbing issues, it's worth noting that all reported service requests from 2026 have been closed, though the status of the 2022 building code violation remains open and unresolved.

Risk rating

How 5322 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
3rdpercentile
