Initial analysis

The two-flat building at 5938 N Artesian Ave in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, owned by Steven Hanna, has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only two documented 311 service requests. Both incidents occurred in 2025, specifically in April and November, and were related to rodent issues, with complaints requiring rat baiting services. Each of these cases has been officially closed, but the recurrence of pest-related problems within a six-month period suggests a potentially ongoing challenge with vermin control in the building. Aside from these rodent-related service requests, no other 311 calls or complaints have been recorded for this property in the past seven years, and there are no documented safety concerns or other significant events that would impact resident experience. The two-unit building, which was constructed in 1928, appears to be under standard ownership with no unusual property management patterns noted in the available records.

Risk rating

How 5938 N Artesian Ave 1St'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
