Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5103 S Mulligan Ave in Garfield Ridge, owned by Jose Arreola, was constructed in 1921 and has had relatively few reported issues over the past seven years. The most recent environmental complaint was filed in August 2023 regarding noise, though no violation was found upon investigation. In 2025, the property generated multiple service requests, including three tree trim requests filed in November and two complaints about basement water issues in August, both of which have since been closed. Earlier in the same year, there was also one street-related service request regarding a pothole that has been resolved. The building's record shows limited activity overall, with most recent issues centered around exterior and environmental maintenance rather than structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 5103 S Mulligan 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.
