Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5334 S Laramie Ave in Garfield Ridge, owned by Cesar Araiza, is a relatively new construction from 2006. The property's service request history over the past seven years shows minimal activity, with only four recorded incidents, all of which occurred in 2024-2025 and have been properly resolved. These service requests included an alley light outage in June 2025, a tree trimming request in December 2024, garbage cart maintenance in May 2024, and a water on street complaint in early May 2024. Prior to these recent issues, the only recorded environmental complaint was an illegal dumping incident from September 2000, well before the building's construction. The current service request pattern suggests typical municipal maintenance needs rather than significant building-specific concerns, and all issues have been addressed in a timely manner according to city records.

Risk rating

How 5334 S Laramie 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.
