Augrented Insights
Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5027 W Grand Ave in Belmont Cragin, owned by Manuel Sandoval and constructed in 1907, has experienced several noteworthy incidents over the past seven years. Most concerning are the three environmental enforcement actions taken against the property in June 2022, including significant violations related to waste treatment and disposal, for which the property was ultimately fined $11,000 ($10,000 for solid waste violations and $1,000 for waste removal responsibility violations), though one violation was dismissed. More recently, in June 2023, there was a noise complaint that was promptly resolved within a day. The building has generated a total of 11 service requests by the owner over this period, with the majority (five out of eight) relating to abandoned vehicle complaints between 2023-2026, and other requests regarding garbage cart maintenance and blue recycling cart issues.

How 5027 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

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
99thpercentile
