Unlock complete reportThe two-unit building at 5404 S Mozart St in Chicago's Gage Park neighborhood, owned by Bessie Petros, has experienced significant issues in recent years that warrant attention. The property, constructed in 1934, currently has 6 unresolved building code violations, with the most recent occurring in July 2025 related to permit inspections, and several complaint-driven violations documented in October 2024 and April 2023. The building's service request history over the past seven years shows consistent activity, with 30 service requests recorded, including recent issues in 2026 such as a water lead test kit request, leak check, graffiti removal, and sanitation code violations, though many of these have been closed. Of particular concern is the presence of multiple open building code violations, which suggests ongoing compliance and maintenance challenges, though there was only one building permit recorded in the past seven years. The property's 311 service request history shows a mix of infrastructure and maintenance issues, with the most recent requests in 2026 primarily focused on exterior observations rather than internal building conditions.
How 5404 S Mozart 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.
Out of 1776 buildings in this neighborhood, 1581 are predicted to be safer.
