Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 5644 S Calumet Ave in Washington Park, owned by Bronzeville Icarus LLC, is a 6-unit structure built in 1917. The property has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, most significantly a cluster of complaint-driven violations in November 2022, totaling six separate violations, all of which have been resolved according to city records. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated ten building code violations, though these appear to be primarily centered around the 2022 incident cluster. The property has had minimal maintenance or improvement activity on record, with only one building permit issued in the past seven years. In terms of service requests, the building has had three recorded incidents in 2026, including plumbing violations, a stray animal complaint, and a tree trimming request from 2025, all of which have been resolved. The building's violation and service request history suggests periodic maintenance issues, though the prompt resolution of the 2022 violations indicates some level of responsiveness to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 5644 S Calumet 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.

Neighborhood percentile
19thpercentile
