Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 5643 N Richmond St 1 in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood is a 1954 property owned by Vincent C Cesena. Over the past seven years, the property has recorded minimal municipal activity, with only two 311 service requests documented during this period. The most recent incident, filed in May 2026, concerned an abandoned vehicle complaint and was handled through the Alderman's office, while an earlier request from October 2024 involved garbage cart maintenance, also addressed by the Alderman's office. Both issues were successfully closed, with no record of any safety-related incidents or building-specific complaints. The property's documented service request history appears to be quite limited, with no recurring maintenance or safety concerns noted in the available data.

Risk rating

How 5643 N Richmond 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

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.
