Initial analysis

The three-unit building at 5962 W Adams St in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by Domitilia Roby, has experienced several notable issues since its construction in 1952. Most concerning are six unresolved building code violations from January 22, 2020, which were all initiated through complaint-driven inspections and remain open as of the latest records in October 2023. While this persistent cluster of violations stands out as a significant concern for resident safety and building maintenance, the property has had relatively few other documented issues in the past seven years. Two 311 service requests were filed, both of which have been resolved: one regarding an abandoned vehicle complaint in January 2026, and another concerning a stop sign repair request in December 2025. Given the age of the building and its documented issues, there may be legitimate concerns about the property's current condition and the owner's responsiveness to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 5962 W Adams St'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.
