Unlock complete reportThe 27-unit residential building at 5237 S Greenwood in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, owned by Pioneer UC I, LLC and constructed in 1953, currently shows concerning patterns in both recent and historical data. As of 2026, there are six open building code violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections in May 2026, representing the most significant current issues affecting the property. The building has accumulated a total of 26 building violations and 15 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the owner showing a much higher total of 82 building violations and 135 service requests across five parcels. Recent 311 service requests from 2026 include three building-related issues (two building violations in January and one 311 information call in April), along with a street light complaint in February and a tree debris clean-up request in July 2025. The property had one environmental complaint in May 2024 regarding illegal dumping, though city inspectors reported no violations upon investigation. While the building has had some permits issued (only three in the past seven years), the concentration of recent open violations and building-related service requests suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges for the property.

How 5237 S Greenwood Chicago'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 416 buildings in this neighborhood, 324 are predicted to be safer.
