Unlock complete reportThe six-unit residential building at 5045 S Michigan Ave, located in Chicago's Grand Boulevard neighborhood, is a century-old structure built in 1909 and currently owned by Miroslav Kazimirim. The building has experienced a moderate level of regulation and service activity over the past seven years, with a total of five building violations recorded. Notably, all five violations were associated with a complaint-driven inspection on August 20, 2021, though records indicate that these issues were promptly resolved. The property has generated a relatively low number of service requests, with only one 311 call recorded during this period - for a tree trimming issue in March 2026, which is no longer an accepted request type and has since been closed. The ownership entity has a significantly higher total count of violations and service requests across two parcels, with 19 violations and 22 service requests recorded under their name, though these numbers may include multiple properties. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years, suggesting limited recent structural modifications or improvements.

How 5045 S Michigan 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.
Out of 1162 buildings in this neighborhood, 964 are predicted to be safer.
