AI summary

The property at 5404 S Richmond St in Gage Park is a 1917 two-flat building currently owned by M Gonzalez and P Salinas. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of eight service requests filed with the 311 system, with all but one being closed. The most recent cluster of incidents occurred in March and April 2026, when multiple tree-related issues were reported, including three tree debris clean-up requests and one tree removal inspection (currently open) in March 2026, plus an additional tree debris clean-up request in April 2026. The property has also experienced some street maintenance issues, with two other complaints being filed in April 2026 - one regarding a pothole in the street and another concerning a sanitation code violation. While the historical data shows limited service requests over the building's lifetime, the recent surge in tree-related incidents and sanitation concerns may impact resident experience, though all reported issues have been addressed except for the currently pending tree removal inspection.

Risk rating

How 5404 S Richmond St'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.
