Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 5418 W Fulton St in Chicago's Austin neighborhood is a 1908 structure currently owned by Terry J Walker. The property has generated relatively few municipal service requests over the past seven years, with a total of five recorded incidents. Notably, the building has experienced multiple sewer-related service calls in 2025, with three inspection requests (on May 14, July 5, and July 23), suggesting some ongoing attention to the property's sewer infrastructure during this period. The owner has also engaged city services for yard waste pick-up in June 2025 and tree debris clean-up in July 2024, indicating regular property maintenance efforts in these areas. While the frequency of sewer inspections in 2025 is worth noting, it's important to recognize that all recorded service requests have been resolved, as indicated by their "Closed" status in the city's 311 system.

Risk rating

How 5418 W Fulton St'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

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.
