Initial analysis

The building at 5440 S Aberdeen St 2B in Chicago's New City neighborhood is a 4-unit, 1926 construction currently owned by Stanley E Wiggins. The property's documented history over the past seven years shows relatively minor issues, primarily related to waste management services. Between 2025 and 2026, there were four documented garbage-related complaints, including two missed pick-up incidents and requests for garbage cart maintenance and a recycling cart. While these service requests indicate some challenges with waste collection in the area, it's worth noting that all of these issues were ultimately closed out through the appropriate channels. The building's record also shows one building permit issued in the past seven years, though the specific details of this permit are not included in the available data. The property's documented service history is limited, with no recorded safety violations or major structural concerns in the available records.

Risk rating

How 5440 S Aberdeen St 2B'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.
