Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5139 N Springfield Ave in Albany Park, owned by Stanley Kalapurayil, was constructed in 1957 and has been through a relatively uneventful period in terms of service requests over the past seven years. The property's most significant recent activity centers around a cluster of vehicle-related violations in February 2026, with six documented instances of either city vehicle sticker violations or parking code enforcement reviews, all of which have been closed. These incidents, while numerous, appear to be administrative in nature and primarily concern parking enforcement rather than building maintenance or resident safety issues. The building's overall history shows no recorded service requests or violations from 2017 to 2025, suggesting either a period of good maintenance response or potentially limited reporting during those years.

Risk rating

How 5139 N Springfield 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.
