Initial analysis

The property at 5425 S Millard Ave is a two-unit residential building located in the West Elsdon neighborhood of Chicago, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Pablo Moreno. The building's record over the past seven years shows a total of 17 service requests made through the city's 311 system, with the most recent activity occurring in 2026. This recent cluster of incidents in 2026 primarily concerns parking enforcement issues, with three separate requests related to vehicle violations (including a city vehicle sticker violation, abandoned vehicle complaint, and two finance parking code enforcement reviews), all of which have been resolved. Additionally, there was a building violation recorded on March 23, 2026, which has also been closed. There is currently one open service request from June 10, 2026, regarding a tree emergency. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one building permit recorded over the past seven years. While the property has experienced multiple service requests, it's worth noting that many of these relate to street-related issues rather than building-specific problems, and most have been properly addressed through the city's resolution process.

Risk rating

How 5425 S Millard 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.
