Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5411 N Northwest Highway in Jefferson Park, owned by Conrad Carrington, has a relatively limited history of recorded issues since its construction in 1921. The most concerning active matter is an unresolved building code violation from March 2024 related to a complaint-driven inspection, representing the only building code violation on record in the past seven years. Additionally, there was a rodent baiting/rat complaint reported in June 2024 through the Alderman's office, though this service request has since been closed. The building's permit history over the past seven years shows only one permit on record, which may suggest minimal recent construction or modifications, though permits can often indicate regular maintenance and improvements. The overall record of violations, service requests, and permits suggests that while there are some recent concerns regarding pests and an open code violation, these incidents appear to be relatively isolated within the building's broader seven-year history.

Risk rating

How 5411 N Northwest Hwy'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.
