Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 5622 S Elizabeth St in Englewood, owned by Anchor Initiatives NFP, is a 130-year-old structure with a concerning recent history of permit-related issues. Of particular note are seven consecutive "No Building Permit and Construction Violation" complaints filed between November 12, 2025, and November 25, 2025, representing a significant cluster of regulatory concerns. While three of these complaints have since been closed, two remain open as of April 2026, suggesting ongoing compliance issues. The only documented building code violation in the past seven years occurred in July 2021, though this was resolved. The property has generated 11 service requests to 311 in the past seven years, with the most recent being an open complaint from April 2026 regarding building permit violations. The building's permit history shows relatively limited activity, with just one permit filed in the past seven years, compared to 38 building violations and 45 service requests attributed to the owner.

Risk rating

How 5622 S Elizabeth St'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.
