Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5401 S Honore St in New City, owned by Jeffery O Jones and constructed in 1906, has experienced a notable number of incidents in recent years, particularly in the latter part of 2025. The property currently has three open complaint-driven inspection violations as of November 2025, which is concerning for resident safety and building management. During 2025-2026, the building generated a total of 27 service requests to 311, with various issues being reported and subsequently resolved, including a leak check, construction violation, and graffiti removal. The service requests also encompassed some neighborhood-related issues, such as fly dumping, a stray animal complaint, and an abandoned vehicle report, all of which were closed after being addressed. The building's record shows consistent interaction with city services, particularly in addressing various maintenance and neighborhood concerns, though the presence of open violations as of late 2025 warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 5401 S Honore St'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
64thpercentile

Out of 4198 buildings in this neighborhood, 1511 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
