Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 5047 W Cullom Ave in Chicago's Portage Park neighborhood, owned by Richard Casavechia, has been standing since 1918 and has recorded six 311 service requests over the past seven years. The most recent activity includes two abandoned vehicle complaints in 2026 and 2024, though neither should directly impact resident experience within the building. The property has also been associated with several neighborhood maintenance issues, including graffiti removal (2025), garbage cart maintenance (2024), a street pothole complaint (2024), and a rodent baiting request (2024). While these service requests indicate some environmental concerns in the immediate vicinity, it's important to note that all issues reported have been resolved as indicated by their "Closed" status. The relatively low number of reported issues over this time period, particularly those directly related to the building's structure or systems, suggests general stability of the property itself, though residents should remain aware of ongoing neighborhood maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 5047 W Cullom 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.
