Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 5846 S King Drive in Washington Park, owned by Anderson & Williams, has been in operation since 1911 and has experienced some notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the cluster of open periodic routine inspection violations recorded in March 2024, totaling six unresolved citations that suggest ongoing compliance or maintenance challenges. Over the past seven years, the property has accumulated 22 building code violations in total, which represents a substantial portion of its recent history. While there have been nine 311 service requests filed in this timeframe, many were related to tree trimming matters that are no longer being accepted (with three such requests in June 2025 and two in November 2025), as well as one shared housing/vacation rental complaint in June 2025 and an information-only call in January 2026. Notably, there has been only one building permit issued in the past seven years, which may indicate limited development or maintenance activity during this period.

Risk rating

How 5846 S King Dr'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
16thpercentile

Out of 600 buildings in this neighborhood, 504 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
