Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 5702 S Racine Avenue in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, owned by Una Fay Pearson, is a 133-year-old building constructed in 1890. The building's recent records show two open, unresolved building code violations as of March 2024, both resulting from complaint-driven inspections. The property has experienced some maintenance and safety-related issues in its immediate vicinity, with a total of 40 service requests made by the owner over the past seven years, including two building violations. Between 2025 and 2026, there have been multiple requests for garbage cart maintenance (three instances in late 2025, with one still open in May 2026), along with a closed traffic signal complaint, a tree emergency (closed), and an abandoned vehicle complaint (closed) - all of which were handled by various city departments including Streets and Sanitation and CDOT. While the frequency of service requests (26 total for the property) suggests ongoing engagement with city services, it's notable that the most recent building code violations remain unresolved as of early 2024.

Risk rating

How 5702 S Racine 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
17thpercentile
