Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5006 N Cicero Ave, owned by Nickolas E Gavrilos, has been exhibiting several concerning patterns over recent years, particularly in the past two years. Built in 1925 and located between the Sauganash and Forest Glen neighborhoods, the property has accumulated a total of six building code violations in the past seven years, with five currently unresolved complaints as of November 2022. These repeated complaint-driven inspections suggest ongoing issues that have not been adequately addressed. The building has also generated 14 service requests through the 311 system in the past seven years, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026, including multiple open requests for sign repairs between May and December 2026. Other notable service requests include a pothole complaint in April 2026 and a sewer cleaning inspection in December 2025. While there was a documented air pollution complaint in 2013 that was resolved, the persistence of open building code violations and recent pattern of sign maintenance issues could indicate infrastructure or maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 5006 N Cicero 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.
