Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5648 S Sangamon St in Englewood, owned by David Robinson, has a relatively sparse record over the past seven years since its construction in 1908. The building currently has one open building violation from August 2019 related to a complaint-driven inspection, which is notable as it suggests an ongoing unresolved issue that may impact resident comfort or safety. The property has generated a total of three 311 service requests in the past seven years, with the most recent being an alley light outage complaint from March 2025. Historical service requests include two identical dead animal pick-up requests in July 2022, a sewer cleaning inspection request from October 2020, a tree trimming request from July 2020 (which is no longer being accepted), and a missed garbage pick-up complaint from December 2019. The ownership record indicates two parcels associated with the owner, though the building violations, 311 service requests, and building permits attributed to the ownership records appear to be inaccurately aggregated, as only one violation and one permit are associated with the building itself, while a much larger number of service requests (20) are attributed to the owner directly.

Risk rating

How 5648 S Sangamon 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.

Neighborhood percentile
27thpercentile
