Initial analysis

The six-unit, three-story building at 5432 S Indiana Ave 1 in Washington Park, owned by Xander Holdings LLC, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently six unresolved building code violations as of August 2025, including multiple complaint-driven inspections from March 2023. The property has also generated a concerning number of service requests through the city's 311 system, with 22 total requests in the past seven years, including two dead animal pick-up requests and a coyote interaction complaint in 2025. Interestingly, despite the high number of service requests and ongoing building violations, there has been only one building permit issued in the past seven years, which raises questions about whether necessary maintenance and improvements are being properly documented and addressed. The property has experienced some weather-related issues, as evidenced by a snow removal request in December 2025, and has had its share of pest control concerns, including a pet wellness check request in May 2026. While some service requests relate to external issues like wildlife interactions and pedestrian safety concerns in the surrounding area, the unresolved building violations and limited permit activity warrant particular attention.

Risk rating

How 5432 S Indiana Ave 1'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.
