Initial analysis

The property at 5941 S Sangamon St in Englewood is a two-unit building constructed in 1888, currently owned by VDL Investments Inc. The building's documented service history over the past seven years shows limited activity, with only one 311 service request recorded under the current address. However, the ownership record indicates a total of 18 service requests across two parcels associated with VDL Investments Inc. The most recent service request, dated October 26, 2025, is notable as it pertains to a water lead test kit, which suggests the property may be seeking to verify or monitor water quality conditions. This request is currently open and represents the only recorded service request in the past seven years under the current building address. While the total number of 311 service requests might seem substantial, it's worth noting that this figure represents the cumulative total across multiple properties or parcels owned by VDL Investments Inc, rather than just this specific building.

Risk rating

How 5941 S Sangamon 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

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.
