AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5136 N Central Park Ave in Chicago's North Park neighborhood was constructed in 1928 and is currently owned by Thomas Bruce Mazur. The property's maintenance record over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only one building code violation and two 311 service requests, both of which were related to potholes in the street and were resolved in June 2024. Of particular note is an open building code violation from January 29, 2022, which was initiated through a complaint-driven inspection process. This unresolved violation represents the only documented building code issue on record in the past seven years. While the total number of service requests and violations is relatively low for a property of this age, the presence of an open code violation could be concerning from a resident safety and maintenance perspective.

Risk rating

How 5136 N Central Park 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.

Neighborhood percentile
