Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5505 N Spaulding Ave in Chicago's North Park neighborhood is a 1926 structure currently owned by Thomas R. Youadam. The building's documented history over the past seven years shows a concerning pattern of rodent-related issues, with five separate service requests for rodent baiting or rat complaints recorded between October 2024 and May 2026. While all of these complaints have been formally closed, the frequency of these pest-related incidents over an approximately 18-month period suggests an ongoing struggle with rodent control in the building or surrounding area. It's notable that no other types of service requests have been documented during this period, with all recorded issues being specifically related to rodent problems. The building's total of five 311 service requests in the past seven years is relatively low for a multi-unit residential building, though the consistent nature of these rodent-related complaints stands out as the primary concern in the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 5505 N Spaulding Ave 7Th'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
