Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 5342 N Glenwood Ave in Andersonville, currently owned by Thomas J Monforti, is a well-established property dating back to 1898. The building's recent service request history over the past seven years shows minimal documented issues, with all four 311 service requests in 2025-2026 related to garbage and sanitation matters. There have been two missed garbage pick-up complaints in July and December 2025, both of which were resolved, though these incidents may indicate some inconsistency in waste management services. Additionally, there was one tree trim request made in November 2025 which is noted as no longer being accepted, and the most recent service request from May 2026 regarding garbage cart maintenance remains open at this time. While the property's documented service requests are relatively few in number, the concentration of sanitation-related issues over a single year period warrants attention to the building's waste management services during that timeframe.

Risk rating

How 5342 N Glenwood 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
