Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5310 W Barry Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by National Home Rentals, is a 1926 construction that has registered 34 service requests with the city over the past seven years. The property has experienced some recurring issues, with seven documented building violations during this period and five building permits issued. Most notably, there has been a significant cluster of service requests related to abandoned vehicles in May 2026, with five such complaints filed within a short period, suggesting a persistent problem in the vicinity. Additionally, there was a missed garbage pick-up complaint and a garbage cart maintenance issue reported in May 2026, which may indicate challenges with waste management services in the area. The building's records also show a history of 311 service requests, with 115 total inquiries attributed to the owner, though the nature and resolution of these requests vary widely. While the building has maintained its basic structure since 1926, the recent pattern of complaints in mid-2026 raises questions about the current management of basic services in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 5310 W Barry 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

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.
