Initial analysis

The 22-unit residential building at 5600 S Calumet, located in the Washington Park neighborhood and owned by Prairie Park Apartment, is a relatively modern structure built in 1999. The property has experienced several concerning events in recent years, most notably with two unresolved building code violations documented in May 2024. The building's maintenance and infrastructure challenges are further illustrated by a consistent pattern of service requests, with 28 total requests filed by the owner over the past seven years, including multiple instances of vacant lot cleaning and street maintenance issues. Most recently, there are ongoing concerns with water on the street as of April 2026, following a string of infrastructure-related complaints including a closed pothole complaint from March 2026 and previous winter weather concerns. The building's permit activity includes three permits issued in the past seven years, suggesting some level of maintenance or improvement work has been undertaken, though the exact nature of these permits is not specified in the available records. While the property has a relatively low number of building violations on record (two in the past seven years), the recent pattern of unresolved violations and service requests warrant attention to the building's current maintenance and safety conditions.

Risk rating

How 5600 S Calumet 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
10thpercentile

Out of 600 buildings in this neighborhood, 540 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
