Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 5305 W Fullerton Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a 1923 construction currently owned by IL Hwang. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past seven years, with a total of eight building violations and ten 311 service requests. Most recently, in February 2024, there were six complaint-driven inspections that resulted in violations, though records indicate that all these violations were resolved. The building has also faced some recurring utility issues, with two no water complaints filed in February 2026, and more recent concerns about vandalism, as evidenced by three graffiti removal requests between February and April 2026. While the property has had its share of maintenance and service issues, it's worth noting that all recent building code violations have been promptly addressed and resolved, demonstrating some responsiveness to regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 5305 W Fullerton 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

City inspectors rarely find violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
