Initial analysis

The 24-unit residential building at 5900 S Kedzie in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by PARK MTG INV LTD, has experienced several concerning patterns over recent years. Most notably, there are currently four unresolved building code violations from May 2025, all resulting from complaint-driven inspections, and two unresolved violations from a July 2022 periodic routine inspection. The building has also generated a significant number of service requests through the 311 system, with 39 total complaints filed in the past seven years. While most of these recent requests (six in total) relate to traffic signal issues between January and April 2026, there have been previous complaints about street lighting and graffiti.

Risk rating

How 5900 S Kedzie 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.
