Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5634 N Wayne Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood, owned by William H Heilmann, has a documented history dating back to its 1920 construction. Over the past seven years, there has been one building code violation recorded in April 2022 that remains unresolved, which warrants attention given its open status. The property has generated a total of 15 service requests through the 311 system during this period, with the most recent request being for tree removal inspection in June 2026, though this date appears to be an inconsistency as it is set in the future relative to current data. The majority of recent service requests have been related to yard waste management, with three such requests documented between October 2025 and April 2026, all of which have been closed. Other service requests include a dead animal removal (March 2026) and a parking code enforcement review (January 2026), both of which were resolved. Going further back in the building's history, there was a hazardous materials complaint filed in October 1997, though this is quite dated compared to more recent activities. While the building has maintained relatively few violations and service requests overall, the open building code violation from 2022 and the unresolved status of the most recent 311 request warrant particular attention.

Risk rating

How 5634 N Wayne 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
