Initial analysis

The two-unit building at 5225 S Francisco Ave 2nd Floor in Gage Park, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Niguel A. Garcia, has a notably clean record over the past seven years, with only one documented 311 service request. This request, pertaining to a blue recycling cart, was made in March 2024 and has since been closed. The minimal number of service requests, particularly in a seven-year period, is unusual and suggests either very few issues with the property or potentially underreporting of maintenance needs. The building's property records show consistent ownership structure, with both the unit and total parcel counts remaining stable at two and one respectively.

Risk rating

How 5225 S Francisco Ave 2Ndfl'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.
