5336 S Woodlawn Chicago

Hyde Park, Chicago IL 60615 20113190190000 8 units · 1911

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 8-unit residential building at 5336 S Woodlawn in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, owned by John Soldo, was constructed in 1911 and has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years. The property's documented history includes 12 service requests, with the most recent occurring in June 2026 for tree debris clean-up and an open street light complaint. The building's service request pattern shows multiple concerns about abandoned vehicles in the vicinity (two complaints in 2025, both closed), and street-related issues, including street cleaning (December 2025) and street lighting. A notable proactive measure was taken in September 2024 when a water lead test kit was requested and received, though there is no subsequent record of test results or follow-up actions. The age of the structure and its unit count suggest a historical building typical of the Hyde Park area, though the service request frequency remains quite manageable compared to many other properties of similar size.

Risk rating

How 5336 S Woodlawn 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
48thpercentile

Out of 417 buildings in this neighborhood, 217 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
