Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5712 N McVicker Ave, located in Chicago's Norwood Park neighborhood, is a 1924 structure currently owned by Antoni Bajkowski. The property has generated a modest number of service requests over the past seven years, totaling five. Most of these requests have been related to tree management, with three separate incidents recorded in 2024 - including an emergency response, a removal inspection, and a general trimming request. The alley infrastructure received attention in May 2024 with a pothole complaint that was subsequently resolved. The most recent issue, a fly dumping complaint, was filed in June 2026 and remains open at the time of this report. While the building's service request history doesn't indicate any major safety concerns, the concentration of tree-related issues in 2024 suggests a period of active vegetation management in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 5712 N Mcvicker 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

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
