AI summary

The six-unit residential building at 5425 W Wellington Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Wellington Prop Grp LL, has experienced a noteworthy number of maintenance and service issues in 2026, with a total of 20 service requests recorded over the past seven years. The most recent cluster of service requests in 2026 suggests significant ongoing challenges, particularly related to water issues, with complaints about basement flooding and water supply problems in March of that year. Additionally, the property is currently dealing with tree-related concerns, as evidenced by three open requests in 2026 for tree debris cleanup and an inspection for potential removal. Earlier in the year, there was also a request for garbage cart maintenance in January. The building, constructed in 1927, has seen these service requests accumulate over time, but the recent pattern of water-related complaints and ongoing tree maintenance needs stands out as particularly relevant to current resident living conditions.

Risk rating

How 5425 W Wellington 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.
