Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5943 S Ada Street in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by CE Morrow, is a late 19th-century structure built in 1888. The property has had a relatively low number of recorded service requests over the past seven years, with a total of seven 311 calls on record. A significant cluster of these incidents occurred between April 2025 and May 2026, primarily involving water-related issues on the street, with three such complaints documented between June 2025 and May 2026, including two complaints specifically about water on the street in May 2026. The building experienced one concerning incident in June 2025 involving a vicious animal complaint, which was addressed by city services. Additionally, there are two street cleaning requests on record, one filed with the Department of Transportation in July 2025 and another handled by the Alderman's office in May 2026. While the number of service requests is relatively low for the period, the recurring nature of the water-related issues in particular may warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 5943 S Ada 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
60thpercentile
