Initial analysis

The second-floor unit at 5037 N Troy St in Albany Park is a 2-unit residential building constructed in 1918 and currently owned by Teofilo L Nano Jr Trust. The property has experienced a concerning pattern of unresolved building code violations over the past two years, with four open violations recorded between November 2022 and January 2024, all stemming from complaint-driven inspections. This suggests ongoing issues that have not been adequately addressed, though the specific nature of these violations is not detailed in the available records. In terms of building improvements, the property has recorded only one building permit in the past seven years, which may indicate limited recent maintenance or upgrades to the aging structure. The combination of multiple open violations and minimal permitted work in recent years warrants attention, particularly given the building's century-old construction and the potential for various maintenance concerns that typically affect older properties.

Risk rating

How 5037 N Troy St 2Flr'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.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood
