Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5532 W Wrightwood Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Rosa Martinez, has a mixed record since its construction in 1912. The property, which consists of five total parcels, has generated a notable number of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of 45 recorded requests. While the recent 311 information call in February 2025 was appropriately handled and closed, the building's overall service record is significantly impacted by its violation history, comprising 16 documented building violations in the same seven-year period. These violations, while not detailed in the provided information, represent one of the highest counts on record for similar properties in the area and warrant attention. Though there have been no recorded service requests or violations in the most recent reporting year, the building's century-plus history shows it's undergone various challenges typical of older properties, with the majority of documented issues occurring in the preceding six years.

Risk rating

How 5532 W Wrightwood 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.
