Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5039 W Carmen Ave, located in the Sauganash-Forest Glen neighborhood, is a 1913 structure currently owned by Lukasz Ladinski. The building's recent maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and open issues, with the most concerning being an unresolved building code violation from December 2021 resulting from a complaint-driven inspection. The property has generated a total of 13 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with the most recent cluster of requests in July 2025 including reports for rodent problems, sidewalk inspections, tree planting, and garbage cart maintenance. While most of these recent requests have been resolved, the open tree planting request from July 2025 is still outstanding. Other service requests from 2026, including sidewalk inspection and information calls, have been properly closed. The building's documented history suggests periodic maintenance needs, particularly relating to exterior issues like sidewalks and pest control, though many service requests have been addressed through normal city services.

Risk rating

How 5039 W Carmen 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.
