Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5950 W Grand Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood of Chicago, owned by A Ahmed, has had a relatively low volume of service requests over the past seven years, with a total of nine reports filed through the 311 system. The most recent service requests are concentrated in 2025, with five separate incidents of sign-related issues reported between April and May of that year, suggesting a specific period of concern regarding signage maintenance in the vicinity. Other documented incidents include a pothole complaint in April 2025 and an abandoned vehicle complaint in November 2025, both of which were resolved. The earliest request on record was for graffiti removal in March 2026, representing the most recent recorded issue affecting the property. The building's documented service history shows that while there have been several maintenance and infrastructure-related concerns in the surrounding area, none of the recorded issues appear to have direct implications for resident safety or building integrity, and all reported incidents have been officially closed.

Risk rating

How 5950 W Grand 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.
