AI summary

The property at 5001 W Grand Ave in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood is a two-unit building constructed in 1888, currently owned by Mayday Rodriguez. The building's recent history shows a total of six 311 service requests over the past seven years, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2026, including requests for garbage cart maintenance and a pothole complaint in the street. Notable concerns include two building violations recorded in September 2024, which may warrant attention to the building's maintenance and safety standards. The property has also experienced some community-related issues, such as a nuisance animal complaint in March 2025 and a street cleaning request in September 2025. While the building has been involved in various municipal service requests, most of these issues appear to be routine neighborhood matters rather than serious safety concerns, though the two building violations may be significant in this regard.

Risk rating

How 5001 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.
