Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5154 S Campbell Ave in Chicago's Gage Park neighborhood, owned by Wieslaw Piasecki, is a late 19th-century structure built in 1893. The property has experienced several concerning issues over the past seven years, with particular attention required to three unresolved building code violations dating back to December 15, 2020, which were triggered by complaint-driven inspections. The building has generated a total of 20 service requests through the city's 311 system during this period, with a notable cluster of incidents occurring in June 2026. This recent activity includes multiple open graffiti removal requests, along with several tree-related issues including two tree-related emergencies and requested inspections for debris clean-up and removal. While one service request from June 2026 regarding street light pole damage was resolved, the majority of the recent service requests remain pending resolution. The building's record suggests ongoing maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding exterior maintenance and surrounding landscaping, though it's important to note that the majority of the current issues are external to the building structure itself.

Risk rating

How 5154 S Campbell 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

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.
