Austin, Chicago IL 60644 16093160380000 2 units · 1906

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5412 W Washington Blvd in the Austin neighborhood, owned by William White, has experienced several notable incidents over recent years, particularly in the year 2025 when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously. That year, there were documented issues with water in the basement and rodent problems, both of which were resolved. The property also had an incident of fly dumping that was addressed by city services. More recently, in mid-2026, the building has faced some tree-related challenges, with reports of tree debris requiring cleanup and an emergency situation that remains open at the time of this report. While the total number of service requests over the past seven years is limited to ten, with most being resolved, the clustering of issues in early 2025 and the recent tree-related concerns warrant particular attention to these recurring themes.

Risk rating

How 5412 W Washington Blvd'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.
