AI summary

The 2-unit residential property at 5937 S Komensky Ave in Chicago's West Lawn neighborhood, owned by Manuel Vivamontes, has been in operation since 1920 and has generated moderate city service activity over the past seven years. The building's records show 11 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026 when residents reported issues ranging from a missed garbage pick-up and sewer cleaning inspection to street maintenance concerns including a pothole and a missing street light pole door. The property has had minimal structural modifications or improvements, as evidenced by only one building permit being pulled in the past seven years. An active shared cost sidewalk program request from January 2026 remains open and may indicate potential infrastructure improvements or concerns in the vicinity. While the building has experienced typical urban infrastructure-related issues, the relatively limited number of service requests and building permits over this time period suggests a generally stable property condition, though the concentration of recent service requests in 2025-2026 indicates some ongoing maintenance and service coordination challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 5937 S Komensky Ave Hse'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.
