Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5725 N Austin Avenue in Jefferson Park, owned by Jose Luis Ortiz, has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests and permits over the past seven years. The two-story structure, built in 1923, has recorded six 311 service requests in recent years, with the most recent being a tree trim request in April 2026. Other notable service requests include two information-only calls (October 2025 and August 2024), an abandoned vehicle complaint (January 2025), and two street light-related issues (a malfunctioning street light in July 2024 and a missing pole door in May 2024), all of which have been successfully closed. The property has limited record of building permits during this period, with only one permit filed. The building's service request history suggests regular maintenance of public infrastructure in the vicinity, though most issues appear to be related to street lighting rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 5725 N Austin 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.

Neighborhood percentile
27thpercentile
