AI summary

This two-unit residential building at 5925 South Indiana Avenue, located in Chicago's Washington Park neighborhood, is a significant property built in 1888 and currently owned by Dorothy Williams Stark. The building has documented 45 building violations over the past seven years, which is notably high for a property of its size and age. While there has been only one building permit filed during this period, there have been 15 service requests made by the owner through the 311 system, suggesting ongoing management engagement with city services. The most recent 311 service request was made in May 2024 regarding an open fire hydrant complaint, though this issue has since been resolved. Looking further back in the building's history, there was an illegal dumping incident reported in May 2000, which led to a work order being issued to address the situation. The property is comprised of three total parcels under the owner's name, but the available records indicate relatively minimal recent activity beyond the violations and service requests, with only one of the 311 service requests in the past seven years being categorized as a complaint.

Risk rating

How 5925 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.

Neighborhood percentile
57thpercentile

Out of 598 buildings in this neighborhood, 257 are predicted to be safer.
