Unlock complete reportThe property at 5201 S Laramie Ave in Chicago's Garfield Ridge neighborhood is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1953, currently owned by Stanislawa Bobak. Over the past seven years, the building has generated ten 311 service requests, with the most recent activity occurring in June 2026 involving garbage cart maintenance issues that remain unresolved. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of waste management-related concerns, with three documented requests for garbage cart maintenance between 2025 and 2026, and a rodent baiting complaint in May 2025 that has since been closed. Other infrastructure-related issues include an alley light outage complaint and a sewer cleaning inspection request recorded in 2026, both of which were addressed and closed. The property's service request history suggests ongoing challenges with waste management services, while other utility and infrastructure matters appear to have been resolved through appropriate channels. The relatively low total number of service requests over seven years, considering the building's age and unit count, indicates limited documented maintenance issues beyond these identified concerns.

How 5201 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
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.
Out of 601 buildings in this neighborhood, 174 are predicted to be safer.
