Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5934 S Kolmar Ave in Chicago's West Lawn neighborhood, owned by Daniel R McCauley, has been in existence since 1962 and has had minimal documented service requests over the past seven years. The property's 311 service request history shows three documented incidents between 2024 and 2026, all relating to external issues rather than interior building concerns. The most recent service request, still open as of mid-2026, concerns tree debris, while a previous tree debris clean-up request from July 2025 has been resolved. The only other recorded incident was an abandoned vehicle complaint from July 2024, which was closed. The relatively low number of service requests and their nature suggests that no significant building issues have been reported, though it should be noted that the tree debris incidents may indicate some ongoing maintenance needs in the surrounding landscape.

Risk rating

How 5934 S Kolmar 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.

Neighborhood percentile
