Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5019 W Saint Paul Ave in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, constructed in 1926, is currently owned by TAXPAYER OF and has generated significant property management activity over the past seven years. The property's record shows an unusually high number of building violations (2228) over this period, raising potential concerns about maintenance and compliance issues. While only two 311 service requests have been made in the past seven years - one for yard waste pick-up and another for checking a leak - these represent a small fraction of the total service requests associated with the owner, which number 8731. The building's permit activity has been substantial, with 338 permits recorded, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvements, though the high number of building violations relative to permits could indicate some regulatory compliance challenges. Environmental enforcement actions against the property appear relatively minimal, with 10 violations and 33 complaints registered, and there have been three house share violations on record. Given the age of the building and its extensive service record, the property has clearly required regular attention from both management and city services, though it's worth noting that the vast majority of service requests are not directly related to the building's condition or habitability.

Risk rating

How 5019 W Saint Paul 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.
