Initial analysis

The three-story, five-parcel residential property at 5147 S Homan Ave in Gage Park, built in 1903 and currently managed by TN Property Management, has shown some concerning patterns in recent years, particularly during the latter half of 2025. The building has experienced multiple water-related issues, with two basement water complaints filed in August 2025, and while these incidents were resolved through city services, their recurrence suggests potential ongoing moisture management challenges in the structure. The property has also had three tree-related incidents between 2024-2026, including emergency situations and inspection requests, though these were not directly related to the building's condition. While the total number of service requests and permits in the past seven years (27 service requests and 5 permits) might seem moderate, it's worth noting that the majority of these recent requests in 2024-2026 have centered around external issues such as alley potholes and tree management rather than building-specific concerns. The building has registered a total of five violations in the past seven years, though the specific nature and resolution of these violations are not detailed in the provided data.

Risk rating

How 5147 S Homan 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.

Neighborhood percentile
