Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5443 N Artesian Ave in Lincoln Square, owned by JM & W & MD Jones, was constructed in 1959 and has had 12 documented service requests through the 311 system over the past seven years. The majority of recent activity has centered around waste management issues, with four service requests related to garbage cart maintenance and yard waste pick-up between February and June 2026, three of which remain unresolved as of mid-June 2026. Notably, there was one rodent baiting complaint filed in June 2026, though this has since been closed. The property has maintained an active record of addressing waste management needs, as evidenced by multiple requests for garbage cart maintenance and yard waste services, as well as a blue recycling cart request in June 2026. This pattern suggests ongoing attention to waste management infrastructure, though the number of open service requests as of mid-June 2026 might indicate some challenges in fully resolving these issues in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 5443 N Artesian 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.

Neighborhood percentile
66thpercentile
