Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5041 W Parker Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by Jossue A Crespo, was constructed in 1933 and has had minimal documented issues over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of 11 service requests through the city’s 311 system during this period, with most recent activity occurring in 2025. The majority of recent requests have been related to tree management in the vicinity, with four open tree planting requests and one tree removal inspection request in August and November of 2025 respectively. Earlier in 2026, there was a request concerning a blue recycling cart, which has since been closed. While the tree-related requests indicate a proactive approach to improving the neighborhood's greenery, they represent the bulk of the building's service interactions and suggest ongoing environmental management activities in the vicinity. The overall record shows no major maintenance issues or safety concerns directly related to the building itself, with service requests primarily focused on environmental improvements rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 5041 W Parker 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.
