Initial analysis

The 23-unit, 1924 vintage building at 5001 W Washington in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is currently managed by GF US Bank Trust 8114 and has experienced 24 building code violations and 21 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent building code violation, an unresolved periodic routine inspection, was documented in September 2025, marking a notable ongoing concern for the property. In November 2024, the building underwent several complaint-driven inspections that resulted in multiple violations, though these were subsequently resolved. The building's 311 service request history shows a range of issues, including three documented incidents of fly dumping complaints (the most recent in June 2026), two plumbing-related violations (both in June 2025), and one report of an injured animal (June 2026). While the property has experienced various maintenance and environmental challenges, it's worth noting that all historical building code violations prior to September 2025 were resolved, and most 311 service requests have been closed following appropriate responses.

Risk rating

How 5001 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
