Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5033 W Altgeld St in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood, built in 1926 and currently owned by Jose Luis Leon, has had a relatively low number of service requests in recent years, with a total of six recorded incidents in the past seven years. The most concerning incident was a no water complaint in September 2024, which has since been resolved. The property has also experienced some tree-related issues, including a tree debris clean-up request in July 2024, and there is currently an open tree planting request as of August 2025. Other requests have been for routine matters, including a blue recycling cart request in January 2026, a 311 information call in November 2025, and a building violation complaint in May 2024, all of which have been closed. While the number of service requests is relatively low for a property of this age, the building has experienced some environmental maintenance issues with trees and one significant water service interruption that prospective tenants should be aware of.

Risk rating

How 5033 W Altgeld St'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.
