Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5711 S Marshfield Ave in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Jeffrey Harrington, has experienced several noteworthy events over recent years, with particular concentration in 2022 and 2025. The building, constructed in 1913, underwent multiple complaint-driven inspections in March 2022, resulting in four resolved violations, while two additional complaints from February 2022 remain open and unresolved. More recently, in 2025, there appears to be a recurring issue with garbage cart maintenance, as evidenced by three separate service requests for Garbage Cart Maintenance between February and August 2025, along with a blue recycling cart request in July 2025. The building's service request history includes varied concerns, including a report of an injured animal and a 311 information-only call, all of which have since been closed.

Risk rating

How 5711 S Marshfield 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

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
