AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5405 S Natchez Ave in Garfield Ridge, owned by Lillian Godlewski, has had minimal recorded incidents over the past seven years, with only ten 311 service requests filed during this period. The property, constructed in 1951, has experienced several tree-related issues in 2024, with five of the six most recent service requests between July and December 2024 specifically addressing tree emergencies, removal inspections, and debris cleanup needs - three of these being categorized as emergencies. The only other recorded service requests during this period were a street light outage complaint in October 2025 and a tree emergency reported to the Alderman in July 2025. While most of these issues have been resolved (all are listed as closed), the cluster of tree-related incidents in 2024 suggests an ongoing concern with local vegetation that may have affected property access or resident enjoyment during that period.

Risk rating

How 5405 S Natchez Ave 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 601 buildings in this neighborhood, 12 are predicted to be safer.
