Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4942 W Belden Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood was constructed in 2023 and is currently owned by Walter Coello. The property has generated a total of seven 311 service requests over the past seven years, all of which have been resolved. An unusual feature of this building's record is the relatively high number of tree-related service requests, with three planting requests (two in August 2025 and one emergency in July 2024) and a removal inspection (August 2025) recorded in close succession. The building's maintenance record includes one rodent-related complaint in October 2024, which was addressed by the Alderman's office, and a blue recycling cart request in June 2024. The property has received two building permits during the same seven-year period. While the tree-related requests suggest ongoing beautification efforts, the rodent complaint and its associated urgency indicate some potential concerns with pest control, though this appears to have been addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 4942 W Belden 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.
