Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5152 S Kostner Ave in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood, owned by Ivan Gomez, has been standing since 1913. The property has maintained a relatively clean record over the past seven years, with only one recorded building violation in 2019 related to permit inspections, which has since been resolved. The building has generated a total of seven 311 service requests in this period, though none appear to be directly related to building safety or habitability issues. The most recent and notable cluster of service requests occurred in 2025, consisting of four graffiti removal requests and two tree trim requests, all of which have been closed. While these maintenance issues were addressed promptly, they primarily relate to exterior upkeep rather than internal building conditions. The property has been issued only one building permit in the past seven years, though the specific nature of this permit is not detailed in the available data.

Risk rating

How 5152 S Kostner 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.
