Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5041 W Belmont Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, currently owned by Charbel Inc, has an extensive history dating back to its 1930 construction. The most recent records show three service requests related to garbage cart maintenance and one alley pothole complaint between 2024 and 2025, all of which have been successfully closed. Looking further back, the building experienced multiple noise complaints in May 2003 and one incident of illegal dumping in November 1994, though these issues appear to have been resolved and there have been no recent environmental complaints on record. The property's service request history over the past seven years has been relatively minimal, with only three total requests, suggesting stable building maintenance conditions in recent times.

Risk rating

How 5041 W Belmont 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.

Neighborhood percentile
