Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5136 South Rockwell Street in Gage Park, owned by Ricardo and Rosa Lopez, is a century-old property constructed in 1901. The building's recent service request history over the past seven years is minimal, with only two documented 311 service requests in 2025. The most recent request, filed in August 2025, was for a water lead test visit, while the earlier request from May 2025 concerned weed removal and was directed to the Alderman's office. Both requests have been closed. The relatively low number of service requests and the nature of these specific issues - one related to water safety and the other regarding exterior maintenance - suggest there have been no major incidents or recurring problems in recent years, though the property is due for routine monitoring of these specific concerns in the future.

Risk rating

How 5136 S Rockwell 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.

Neighborhood percentile
