AI summary

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 5831 S Princeton Ave in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by Margie L Booker. The property has generated a total of four 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. Two service requests from April 2026 were submitted regarding tree trimming, though this specific request type is no longer being accepted by the city. In late May 2026, two additional service-related requests were filed - one for a blue recycling cart and another for garbage cart maintenance, with the garbage cart request being marked as closed while the recycling cart request remains open. The building's service request record shows minimal activity over the past seven years, with all documented requests being related to basic municipal services rather than any building-specific issues, and there are no records of safety concerns or urgent maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 5831 S Princeton Ave 2Fl'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.
