AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5321 S Kedzie Ave in Gage Park, owned by Diego Gomez, has been in existence since 1913 and has recently shown several concerning patterns in its maintenance record. Most notably, there are currently four open building code violations stemming from complaint-driven inspections conducted in June 2026, which represent the most pressing and recent concerns regarding the property's condition. Additionally, the property has experienced recurrent issues with garbage collection, as evidenced by two missed garbage pick-up complaints in February 2026, though these incidents have been resolved. The building has also been the site of multiple graffiti incidents in October 2025, with four separate removal requests recorded within a short timeframe, all of which were subsequently addressed and closed. While the building's document history shows several service requests over the past seven years (a total of 13), the concentration of recent complaints and unresolved violations in 2026 is particularly noteworthy and suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact tenant quality of life.

Risk rating

How 5321 S Kedzie 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.
