Initial analysis

The 6-unit residential building at 5732 N Milwaukee Ave in Jefferson Park, owned by Lynette O'Brien, has been standing since 1925 and has encountered some regulatory challenges in recent years. Of particular concern are two unresolved periodic routine inspection violations recorded on June 3, 2021, which remain open nearly three years later. Additional inspection requests include a sewer cave-in inspection currently open as of April 2026, suggesting ongoing infrastructure concerns. The building's service history shows multiple 311 requests between 2024 and 2026, including two finance parking code enforcement reviews (May and August 2025), a building violation complaint (September 2025), and a pet wellness check (November 2024). While the majority of these issues have been resolved, the open violations and inspection requests indicate some persistent regulatory and maintenance matters that could impact resident living conditions. The age of the building and nature of some recent requests suggest infrastructure and code compliance will require continued monitoring.

Risk rating

How 5732 N Milwaukee 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.
