5416 S Woodlawn Chicago

Hyde Park, Chicago IL 60615 20113240080000 38 units · 1908

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The 38-unit residential building at 5416 S Woodlawn in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, owned by 5416 S Woodlawn LLC, has maintained a relatively stable record over the past seven years. Built in 1908, this property has had minimal issues reported through city services, with only six 311 service requests on record since 2016, none of which directly related to the building's condition or resident services. The most recent service requests have been primarily focused on street maintenance, including two pothole complaints in 2025 and one in 2026. Other service requests during this period included reports of tree emergencies (two incidents on the same day in August 2024), an injured animal report (October 2024), and a general information call to 311 (May 2025). The building has also had one building permit issued in the past seven years, though no specific details about the nature of the permit are available in the records. Looking further back, there was a recycling-related complaint filed in 1999, but this appears to be the only environmental issue on record for this address.

Risk rating

How 5416 S Woodlawn 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

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
30thpercentile
