Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5319 S Kilpatrick Ave in Chicago's Garfield Ridge neighborhood, owned by Juan R Mendoza, is a century-old property constructed in 1918. The building's recent service history from the past seven years (2017-2023) reveals a recurring issue with animal-related disturbances, with three separate stray animal complaints logged between April and November 2025. Additionally, there have been two environmental complaints recorded under the Service Stations/Storage Tanks category on January 25, 2001, though it's unclear if these historical complaints are still relevant to the current property condition. One of the more pressing concerns in the area was addressed through a fly dumping complaint in June 2025, which suggests potential environmental or sanitation challenges in the vicinity. The most recent service request on record is from November 2025, again relating to a stray animal issue. While all service requests have been officially closed, the pattern of recent complaints, particularly regarding animals, may suggest ongoing neighborhood concerns.

Risk rating

How 5319 S Kilpatrick 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.
