Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 5600 S Wolcott Ave in Englewood, owned by PP NT 2 LLC and constructed in 1914, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance and safety concerns in recent years. Most notably, there are currently seven unresolved building code violations stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted between late 2024 and 2026, with the most recent occurring in April 2026. The building's recent history shows a pattern of pest-related issues, particularly with rodent infestations, as evidenced by three rodent baiting complaints between August and February 2026. The property has also been the subject of multiple building violations, including plumbing issues, with four such complaints logged in November 2025 alone. While there is one building permit on record for the past seven years, the persistent nature of these violations and service requests suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The total counts for the past seven years include 17 building violations and 14 311 service requests, though the majority of these recent complaints appear to be concentrated within the 2025-2026 period.

Risk rating

How 5600 S Wolcott Ave'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.
