Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1937 residential building at 5743 N Richmond Street in the West Ridge neighborhood, currently owned by Barbara L Zummo, has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years. The most concerning matters are the three unresolved building code violations from 2025 and 2026, including two complaint-driven inspections in May 2025 and a permit-related inspection in March 2026 that remains open. While the property has maintained some responsiveness to municipal needs, as evidenced by the closure of eight 311 service requests, many of these were routine municipal matters rather than building-specific concerns. These included street maintenance (pothole), vehicle issues (abandoned vehicle), animal control (dead animal pick-up), waste management (garbage cart maintenance), and two building permit violations that were eventually resolved in May and November 2025. The presence of multiple building code violations, particularly those that remain unresolved, suggests attention may be warranted to these ongoing compliance issues, while the variety of service requests indicates engagement with city services primarily for community-maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 5743 N Richmond 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.
