Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5801 W Ainslie St in Jefferson Park, owned by Maria Labak, is a 1923 structure that has experienced some notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are two unresolved building code violations recorded on October 2, 2023, which represent the building's most recent documented issues. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of five 311 service requests, with the most recent four (from early 2025) addressing various concerns including sanitation code violations, rodent issues, sewer cleaning needs, and a street pothole complaint, while a December 2024 request regarding an abandoned vehicle has since been closed. The building's permit history shows three permits issued in the same seven-year period, though the nature and outcomes of these permits are not specified in the available data. While the property has had some maintenance and sanitation concerns, particularly in recent years, it's important to note that not all service requests necessarily indicate building deficiencies, as some may pertain to street or municipal services in the building's vicinity.

Risk rating

How 5801 W Ainslie St'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.
