Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5311 N Northwest Hwy 15 in Jefferson Park, built in 1974 and currently owned by Trung Dien Nguyen, has had relatively few documented service requests and permits over the past seven years. The most recent activities in 2025 involve tree planting requests, with at least one still open as of the report date. Prior to these, there was a parking code enforcement review in August 2024 and two recycling pick-up requests in May 2024, all of which were closed. The owner has maintained two parcels in their name, with a total of 11 service requests recorded across both properties in the past seven years and only one building permit. Looking further back into the building's history, there was an unspecified environmental complaint filed in October 1996, though there are no details available on its nature or resolution. The limited number of service requests and permits, combined with the building's age, suggests relatively minimal documented issues or modifications in recent years, though this doesn't necessarily reflect the full condition of the property.

Risk rating

How 5311 N Northwest Hwy 15'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.
