Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. 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 three-unit residential building at 5607 S Wabash Ave in Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood, owned by Chelsea McMurray & Gera, was constructed in 1918. The property has generated a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of eight 311 calls recorded. Most of these recent requests between February 2025 and January 2026 have been related to tree maintenance and recycling services, including two recycling pickups and three tree-related services (two trim requests and one debris cleanup). Of particular note is an open water lead test kit request filed in May 2024 with the Department of Water Management, which could have safety implications for current and future residents. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 5607 S Wabash 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

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.
