5004 S Talman Ave

Gage Park, Chicago IL 60632 19122190170000

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 5004 S Talman Avenue in Gage Park, owned by Jose S Quintana, is a century-old property constructed in 1903. The building's recent service request history from the past seven years shows a total of 27 documented incidents, with the majority of recent activities occurring in 2026. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns regarding tree maintenance in June 2026, with both an open tree emergency and a tree debris clean-up request. Additionally, there currently exists an open garbage cart maintenance issue as of late May 2026. The property has experienced two snow-related incidents in late 2025 and early 2026 requiring attention to object removal or "dibs" situations, which have since been resolved. Earlier in 2026, there was a public way inspection request addressed by the Department of Transportation, which was closed. While the building has maintained regular communication with city services, the pattern of service requests suggests recurring seasonal maintenance challenges, particularly with snow and tree-related issues, though the majority of requests have been resolved through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 5004 S Talman 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
