AI summary

The 5-unit residential building at 5505 W Schubert Ave 1R in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a 1926 property currently owned by Jesus Ortiz. The building's recent history shows some maintenance activity regarding waste management, with two documented garbage cart maintenance requests submitted and subsequently closed in June 2025. Over the past seven years, the property has maintained relatively low overall service request activity, with only two 311 service requests recorded in this period. However, it's worth noting that the building has accumulated four documented violations during the same timeframe, suggesting some historical regulatory compliance challenges, though none appear to be recent based on available data. The property's service request history shows a significant increase in activity in earlier years, with a total of 25 service requests recorded over the seven-year period, indicating there may have been more frequent operational or maintenance issues in the past, though this recent pattern of fewer service requests could suggest improved property management standards.

Risk rating

How 5505 W Schubert Ave 1R'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.
