Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5247 S Kolin Ave in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood, owned by Noe Martinez, was constructed in 1996 and has experienced several notable events over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of eight 311 service requests during this period, with the most significant concentration of complaints occurring in 2024. That year alone saw three separate complaints regarding e-scooter parking issues between April and August, indicating a possible recurring neighborhood concern. Additionally, there were two graffiti removal requests in the latter part of 2025, both of which have since been closed. Earlier in 2024, there was one street-related complaint regarding a pothole. While all service requests have been resolved, the pattern of e-scooter parking complaints and graffiti removal in the vicinity suggests ongoing challenges with public space management around the property, though these issues appear to have been adequately addressed by city services once reported.

Risk rating

How 5247 S Kolin 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.
