Gage Park, Chicago IL 60632 19124060040000 6 units · 1967

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Initial analysis

The six-unit residential building at 2445 W 51st Street in Gage Park, constructed in 1967 and currently owned by Urban Living 2, has maintained a relatively low volume of service requests and permits over the past seven years. The property has generated a total of seven service requests, with the most recent activity occurring between March and November 2024. The majority of these recent incidents in 2024 have been related to graffiti removal (two incidents), street light maintenance, and a sanitation code violation in March. Two of the recent calls in November 2024 were documented as "information only" requests to 311 City Services, and all reported issues have been resolved according to their closed status. The building's permit activity is minimal, with only one building permit filed in the past seven years. While the recent service requests have been successfully addressed, it's notable that all recorded incidents have occurred within 2024, suggesting increased recent activity compared to the previous seven-year period.

Risk rating

How 2445 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.

Neighborhood percentile
14thpercentile

Out of 1787 buildings in this neighborhood, 1537 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
