Initial analysis

The 18-unit residential building at 5955 S Sacramento in Chicago Lawn, managed by FBH Partners, has experienced significant activity over the past seven years, dating back to its original 1932 construction. The building's most recent inspection history is particularly notable, with a cluster of six complaint-driven violations documented on October 27, 2025, though all were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained an active record of 311 service requests, totaling 54 under the current ownership, with the most recent being a plumbing violation filed in June 2026 that remains open as of the latest data. Between 2025 and 2026, there were multiple water-related issues, including two street water complaints and a plumbing violation, all of which were closed. The building's overall violation count stands at 35 for the past seven years, which includes various complaint-driven inspections and service requests. While there have been numerous cited violations, it's worth noting that there has generally been prompt resolution of these issues, as evidenced by the "Complied" status of recent violations and the closure of most service requests. The building's permit activity over this period shows only one permit issued, which may warrant attention in terms of maintenance and improvements history.

Risk rating

How 5955 S Sacramento 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
