Initial analysis

The 12-unit residential building at 5101 N Kenmore Avenue in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Pines of Edgewater I, has experienced a notably high volume of reported issues over recent years. The property has accumulated 11 building violations and 25 311 service requests specifically for the last 7 years, while the ownership records show significantly higher totals of 67 building violations and 140 service requests over the same period. The most concerning and recent development is the series of unresolved building code violations noted in July 2024, which represent the most current inspection activity on record. The property has also generated multiple tree-related service requests in 2026, including emergency responses and debris clean-up needs, though the building violation issues appear to be a more critical concern given their potential impact on resident safety and habitability. Prior to the most recent tree-related issues, the building had experienced sanitation code violations in March 2026, though this was ultimately resolved.

Risk rating

How 5101 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.

Neighborhood percentile
