Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5009 S Fairfield Ave in Gage Park, owned by Abel Flores, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in 2025-2026. The most pressing concerns are the open building code violations recorded on April 1, 2026, which were part of complaint-driven inspections. Additionally, there is a notable pattern of water-related issues affecting the property, with three documented incidents in August-September 2025, including two complaints about water in the basement. These water problems, while ultimately closed through 311 services, may indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's inspection and service request history shows minimal activity beyond these water issues, with only one other building violation and two building permits recorded in the past seven years. The property has three parcels associated with it under the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 5009 S Fairfield 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.

Neighborhood percentile
