Initial analysis

The two-flat residential building at 5955 W Erie St 1 in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a historic property dating back to 1895, currently owned by CTLTC 008002373876. This two-unit structure has had minimal documented issues in recent years, with only two 311 service requests registered in the past seven years, both of which occurred in 2024. The most recent complaint, filed in July 2024, was regarding a street light outage, while a pothole complaint from May 2024 addressed a street maintenance issue. Both of these infrastructure-related concerns were promptly closed. Notably, neither of these incidents directly impacted the building's residential systems or habitability, as they pertained to public street conditions rather than the property's internal infrastructure or services. The relatively low number of service requests over this extended period may suggest stable building conditions, though municipal service requests don't encompass the full range of potential building issues.

Risk rating

How 5955 W Erie St 1'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.
