Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5148 W Bloomingdale Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, owned by BNS Properties LLC and constructed in 1909, has recorded significant maintenance and service activity over the past seven years. The property has accumulated 55 building violations within this period, alongside 21 building permits, though the nature and resolution of these violations are not specified in the available data. The building and its managing entity have generated substantial interaction with city services, including 169 total service requests, with the most recent cluster of complaints in 2025 focusing primarily on waste management issues, including multiple requests for blue recycling cart maintenance and a garbage cart maintenance. Other recent service requests from 2025 include a street cleaning request and a vicious animal complaint, both of which have been resolved, as well as a pet wellness check. The property has experienced two environmental enforcement actions and one scofflaw violation in the past seven years, though specific details of these incidents are not provided in the records. Given the age of the building and the relatively high number of violations compared to its unit count, the property has demonstrated considerable interaction with municipal services, though the resolution status of many of these issues remains unclear from the available data.

Risk rating

How 5148 W Bloomingdale 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.
