Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 5658 S Wells in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by RPM Real Estate Inc., has a documented history dating back to its 1913 construction. The property has experienced minimal official complaints over the past seven years, with only one building code violation recorded in September 2019 related to permit inspections, which remains open and unresolved. The building's service request history is somewhat more extensive, with a total of eight 311 calls logged within the past seven years. Most recently, there are two open service requests from April 2026 - one regarding the inspection of the public way and the other seemingly related to street cleaning. Prior to these recent requests, there were multiple traffic signal complaints in October 2025, and weather-related maintenance issues including ice/snow removal in December 2025, all of which were properly addressed and closed. The relatively low number of building violations and service requests over such an extended period could suggest generally stable property conditions, though the single unresolved building violation and the recent spate of service requests warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 5658 S Wells Chicago'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
3rdpercentile
