Initial analysis

The 30-unit residential building at 5030 N Winthrop in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, currently owned by 5022 N Winthrop LLC, has been in operation since 1913 and has experienced some notable recent issues. Over the past seven years, the building has accumulated two unresolved building code violations from December 2022 and May 2021, both related to periodic routine inspections. The property has also been the subject of multiple 311 service requests, with ten incidents recorded in the same timeframe. The most recent service requests, all from 2025-2026, indicate ongoing concerns with waste management in the area, as evidenced by three closed fly dumping complaint cases (one from June 2025 and two from May 2026), though these are more reflective of neighborhood conditions than building-specific issues. A water lead test kit request from September 2025 is currently open, which could potentially indicate concerns about water quality. Another service request from September 2025 regarding cab feedback is closed, though the context of this feedback is not specified in the records. The persistence of unresolved building code violations and the recent water lead test kit request are particularly noteworthy, suggesting areas of potential concern for current and prospective residents.

Risk rating

How 5030 N Winthrop 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
8thpercentile

Out of 1231 buildings in this neighborhood, 1133 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
