AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5024 N Sawyer Ave in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, owned by Pedro Flores, was constructed in 1915 and is part of a seven-parcel ownership. The property's service request history over the past seven years shows a relatively low volume of issues directly related to the building itself, with only six 311 service requests attributed to the property. However, there has been a notable cluster of parking-related complaints and inquiries in the surrounding area, particularly during 2024, when five parking-related service requests were filed between April and October of that year, including three abandoned vehicle complaints and two parking code enforcement reviews. The most recent interactions with city services include two 2024 abandoned vehicle complaints and a recycling cart request from October 2025, all of which have been resolved. While the building's service request history appears relatively quiet in terms of building-specific issues, the concentration of parking-related complaints in the vicinity during 2024 is worth noting as it may reflect broader neighborhood parking challenges during that period.

Risk rating

How 5024 N Sawyer 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.
