Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 5346 N Winthrop Ave in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood has a long-standing history, having been constructed in 1913 and currently owned by John J Quinn. The property has had minimal official complaints or violations over the past seven years, with only one building violation recorded during this period. The most notable cluster of service requests occurred in August 2025, when five separate reports of injured animals were filed and subsequently closed, suggesting an unusual incident or situation in the vicinity during that time. While these animal-related incidents might indicate some local environmental concerns, it's worth noting that this was an isolated event with no similar reports before or after this period. The most recent service request on record, filed in May 2026, pertains to tree debris cleanup and remains open, though this is a common and generally non-critical maintenance issue. The building's overall service request record is relatively low, with only eight recorded requests in the past seven years, indicating generally stable property conditions.

Risk rating

How 5346 N Winthrop 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.
