Washington Park, Chicago IL 60637 20151100130000 6 units · 1909

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 six-unit residential building at 5649 S Indiana Ave in Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood, owned by NNB Enterprises, has a relatively limited record of service requests over the past seven years. The three-story structure, built in 1909, has generated a total of five 311 service requests, all of which have been resolved. Interestingly, all recorded service requests in 2025, which appear to be the only requests in the past seven years, relate to incidents involving injured animals, with three reports submitted in January (two through different channels) and one in April. Additionally, there was a tree trimming request in March 2025 and a pothole complaint in January 2025, with the former note indicating that such requests are no longer being accepted. The building's service request history shows no reports of any structural, safety, or maintenance issues, and there are no documented concerns related to resident experience or safety over this timeframe, though it's important to note that this record reflects only the documented 311 service requests and not the complete history of the building.

Risk rating

How 5649 S Indiana Ave 6'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
42ndpercentile
