AI summary

The three-unit residential building at 5834 S Indiana Ave in Washington Park, owned by Elizabeth Chandler, is a 130-year-old property built in 1893. The building's documented history of service requests over the past seven years shows relatively minimal activity, with only three 311 service requests and one environmental complaint on record. The most recent incidents include two separate complaints from September 2024 - one regarding rodent issues and another concerning a stray animal - both of which were resolved. Prior to these, there was an air pollution-related environmental complaint filed in June 2022, which was addressed within one day of being reported. The property's service request history suggests occasional maintenance and pest control issues, though the relatively low number of total complaints for a building of its age and size could be considered noteworthy.

Risk rating

How 5834 S Indiana 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

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.
