Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2635 W 51st St in Gage Park, owned by Adalberto Lopez, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is that there are currently four unresolved complaint-driven inspection violations on record as of August 2025, which represent the most recent and potentially serious concerns regarding building conditions. In terms of maintenance and infrastructure issues, the property has been associated with multiple street-related problems in 2026, with three open pothole complaints in March 2026, following one closed pothole complaint from July 2025. The building's violation history shows a total of four documented building code violations over the past seven years, though specific details about these violations are not provided in the record. Additionally, there have been a few completed service requests for property maintenance matters, including two resolved requests in September 2024 for garbage cart maintenance and tree trimming, though the latter service is no longer being accepted. The frequency and nature of the recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges in the immediate vicinity of the building.

Risk rating

How 2635 W 51St 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

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.
