Initial analysis

The 28-unit residential building at 5940 N Kenmore in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by Ato Pekic, was constructed in 1960 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are the five unresolved building code violations from July 2022, all related to periodic routine inspections, which suggest ongoing compliance and safety concerns. The property has also generated multiple 311 service requests over the past three years, including one building violation and a plumbing violation in 2024, and two additional building violations and an abandoned vehicle complaint in 2025, all of which have been resolved. The building's permit activity has been minimal, with only one permit recorded in the past seven years. While some of these service requests and violations may not directly impact resident safety or comfort, the pattern of unresolved inspection violations from 2022 and the building-related service requests indicate continuing maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges at the property.

Risk rating

How 5940 N Kenmore Chicago'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.
