Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5534 S Loomis Street in Englewood, owned by Leonard McKinnis and constructed in 1893, has maintained a relatively low incidence of serious complaints or violations over the past seven years. The property's documented history shows a total of six 311 service requests, with the most recent ones occurring between 2025 and 2026 primarily related to abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, all of which have been resolved. An environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping was recorded in November 2020, which was promptly referred to Streets and Sanitation and resolved within two days. The only building permit filed in the past seven years was for "sole tenant renovation new windows install", which suggests positive maintenance activity, though the specific date of this permit is not provided in the records. While the age of the building (over 130 years old) suggests routine maintenance may be required, the limited number of service requests and complaints on record, particularly those not directly related to building conditions or tenant concerns, indicates no significant patterns of building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 5534 S Loomis St 1'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.
