Initial analysis

The 12-unit building at 5104 W Drummond in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, owned by 2636 N Laclaire LLC, was constructed in 1948 and has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently three unresolved building code violations as of April 2025, all stemming from a complaint-driven inspection. The property has been the subject of 16 service requests through the city's 311 system over the past seven years, with a particularly concerning cluster of animal-related incidents in 2026, including reports of injured animals, dead animals, and a stray animal complaint, though these have all been resolved. There was also one rodent baiting/rat complaint in September 2025 that has been closed, and an open pothole complaint from May 2026. The building's permit activity over this period has been minimal, with only one building permit recorded in the past seven years.

Risk rating

How 5104 W Drummond Chicago'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.
