Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5759 S Kolmar Ave in West Elsdon, owned by Boleslaw Jagiela, has been in operation since 1957 and has generated a total of six documented 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of service requests occurred in 2025, with four incidents including a missed garbage pick-up, a rodent complaint, a request for abandoned vehicle removal, and a dead animal pickup, all of which have been resolved. Earlier in 2025, there was also a complaint about a pothole in the street, and in April 2024, a tree planting request was made through the Alderman's office, both of which have been closed. While most of these issues have been addressed, the concentration of service requests in 2025, particularly regarding waste management and pest control, may be of interest to current and prospective tenants.

Risk rating

How 5759 S Kolmar 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.
