Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5112 N Major Avenue in Chicago's Jefferson Park neighborhood, owned by Elizabeth Onyszczak, was constructed in 1971 and has had minimal reported issues in recent years. Over the past seven years, there have been three documented 311 service requests, with the most recent incidents occurring in June 2024, involving concerns about a missing street light pole door and an inspection of the public way. Additionally, there was a rodent baiting complaint filed in May 2024. Looking further back in the building's history, an environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping was recorded in November 2000, though this incident predates the current owner's tenure and the recent service requests by more than two decades. The building's recent service request pattern suggests occasional maintenance and public safety concerns in the immediate vicinity, though no recurring issues specific to the building itself have been documented in recent years.

Risk rating

How 5112 N Major 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.
