Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5100 N Major Avenue in Jefferson Park, owned by R Fallin & D Norris, was constructed in 1947 and has maintained a relatively clean record over recent years. The most significant recent incident occurred in May 2024, when a noise complaint was filed against the property, though this was referred to another agency and resolved within a day of the report. This complaint marks the building's first environmental issue in the past seven years and is the only recorded environmental complaint associated with the building's current ownership. With only one environmental complaint on record in that time frame, the property's general maintenance and resident quality of life can be considered stable, though prospective tenants should remain aware of the recent noise-related incident.

Risk rating

How 5100 N Major 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.
