AI summary

The property at 5656 S Indiana in Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood is a 20-unit building constructed in 1893, currently owned by Asmodeus LLC. Over the past seven years, the building has generated a total of seven service requests through the 311 system, with all issues being resolved according to the records. The most recent service request was logged in January 2026 regarding a pothole in the street, while the majority of recent concerns stemmed from incidents in mid-2025, including reports of injured and dead animals, and an abandoned vehicle complaint - all of which have been closed. Earlier in 2025, there were requests related to street maintenance, specifically another pothole complaint and a tree trimming request, though it's worth noting that the tree trim request category is no longer accepting submissions. The nature of these service requests primarily relates to external infrastructure and urban wildlife issues rather than building-specific concerns, and the resolution of all reported issues is duly noted in the records.

Risk rating

How 5656 S Indiana 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.

Neighborhood percentile
