AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 7521 W Belmont Ave in Dunning, owned by Dominic A Rodia Jr, has shown some concerning patterns in its recent service requests, particularly in late 2025. Most notably, there was a cluster of four service requests in 2025, including two consecutive low water pressure complaints at the end of December, which could indicate potential infrastructure or plumbing system issues in the building. The request for graffiti removal in June and two abandoned vehicle complaints in February and March (one of which was directed to the Alderman's office) suggest other maintenance and community-related concerns. While all recorded service requests have been closed, the concentration and nature of these complaints, particularly the water pressure issues, warrant attention to the building's current conditions. It's worth noting that this is the complete record for the past seven years, covering a period from 2025 back to 2018, with no documented service requests in the earlier portion of this timeframe.

Risk rating

How 7521 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.
