Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5552 W Quincy St 1 in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a 1918 construction currently owned by Annie Young. The property has generated a total of 13 service requests over the past seven years, with 4 of those originating from this specific address. The most recent requests include two separate instances of garbage cart maintenance during 2024 (in June and October), a complaint about an alley light outage in March 2025, and a tree trim request in June 2025, though this particular request type is no longer being accepted. While the building has experienced multiple service requests, it's worth noting that the majority relate to routine maintenance matters rather than serious safety concerns, and all recorded requests have been officially closed. The age of the building at 105 years old suggests it has likely undergone various maintenance and updates throughout its history, though specific details of these works are not included in the available records.

Risk rating

How 5552 W Quincy 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.
