Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5358 W Deming Place in Chicago's Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Leon I Farhat, has maintained a relatively low incidence of service requests over the past seven years, with only two recorded 311 service requests during this period. The property, constructed in 1953, has had minimal documented issues, with the most recent service requests occurring in August and May 2025, respectively involving a rodent baiting/rate complaint and an abandoned vehicle complaint, both of which were closed. It's notable that there was an environmental complaint regarding air pollution recorded back in January 2003, but this appears to be the only documented incident of that nature and was likely addressed through an official work order. The limited number of recent complaints, particularly in comparison to many other properties in the area, suggests relatively stable living conditions, though prospective tenants should consider the age of the building and the natural wear and tear associated with such properties.

Risk rating

How 5358 W Deming Pl'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.
