Initial analysis

The property at 5746 S LaSalle St 2 in Englewood, owned by Earl J Hightower, is a historic building constructed in 1888. The building's documented service request history over the past seven years (as of October 2023) shows minimal activity, with only nine total requests, most of which appear to be routine matters rather than urgent concerns. The most recent service request, filed in April 2026, was regarding a vacant/abandoned building complaint, though this was subsequently marked as closed. Other recent requests include two tree trimming inquiries in March 2026 (both of which are no longer being accepted), a 311 information call in August 2025, a report of an injured animal in June 2025, and a water lead test visit request in January 2025 - the latter being particularly noteworthy given the health implications associated with lead contamination. Looking further back in the building's history, there was a hazardous materials complaint logged in October 2001, though no further details are available about the outcome of this incident or its relevance to current conditions.

Risk rating

How 5746 S Lasalle St 2'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

Out of 4926 buildings in this neighborhood, 640 are predicted to be safer.
