AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5834 S Kedzie Ave in Gage Park, owned by Theodore R Lachowicz, has a confirmed history dating back to its 1936 construction. While the building's 311 service request history over the past seven years shows only four recorded incidents, two of these remain unresolved as of October 2023, including an alley pothole complaint (April 2026) and a garbage cart maintenance issue (January 2026). The property has experienced some exterior maintenance challenges, with two graffiti removal requests filed in late 2024 (September and December) that have since been resolved. Looking further back in the building's history, there was a noise complaint filed in 1997, though no other environmental issues have been reported in recent decades. The relatively low number of service requests and complaints over this extended period could suggest stable building conditions, though the current open issues warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 5834 S Kedzie Ave'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
