AI summary

The six-unit residential building located at 7520 W Belmont Ave in the Dunning neighborhood is a 1966 structure currently owned by George & Louis Cocalis. The building's recent history shows minimal violations and service requests over the past seven years, with only one documented building code violation, which remains unresolved as of December 2021. The property has recorded three 311 service requests in the last seven years, all of which have been properly closed. These requests were for issues that are not directly related to building conditions: an abandoned vehicle complaint (February 2026), a finance parking code enforcement review (September 2025), and a dead animal pick-up request (September 2025). While the number of service requests and violations is relatively low compared to many similar properties, the open building code violation from late 2021 warrants attention as it represents the only documented building-specific issue in the available records.

Risk rating

How 7520 W Belmont 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
18thpercentile

Out of 1058 buildings in this neighborhood, 868 are predicted to be safer.
