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 two-unit residential building at 5723 South Michigan Avenue in Washington Park is a 1908 construction currently owned by Christopher J Coutee B. The property's recent history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only one 311 service request and one building permit recorded, both of which were relatively minor in nature. The most recent service request, dated March 5, 2025, was for a tree trim, though it's worth noting that this type of request is no longer being accepted through the 311 system. Looking further back into the building's history, there was one documented environmental complaint regarding air pollution dating from August 20, 1995, which resulted in a work order; however, this incident is quite dated and may not be relevant to current conditions. Overall, the building's recent record suggests limited maintenance or incident history, with no significant safety or resident experience concerns recorded in the past several years.

Risk rating

How 5723 S Michigan 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
