Initial analysis

The three-parcel property at 5926 S Elizabeth St in Englewood, owned by Josue Ortiz, is a 1916 building that has experienced significant regulatory activity in recent years. Most notably, June 2025 brought multiple open building code violations resulting from complaint-driven inspections, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the records. The building has experienced 12 documented building violations in the past seven years, with a particular cluster of issues emerging in 2025, including multiple building violations and at least one incident involving construction without proper permits. There's also been a consistent pattern of 311 service requests, totaling 11 for the building and 15 across the owner's properties in this period, including reports of sanitation code violations and alley lighting issues in September 2025, though these earlier requests from 2025 have been marked as closed. The historical violation and service request data indicates a building requiring ongoing oversight, with particular attention needed to address the unresolved complaints from mid-2025.

Risk rating

How 5926 S Elizabeth St'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.
