Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5237 S Artesian Ave in Gage Park, owned by Jorge Salgado, has been standing since 1919 and has experienced several maintenance and service events over recent years. The property has generated 33 service requests through 311 over the past seven years, with four building violations on record. Most notably, there have been multiple tree-related issues in August 2025, including both removal inspections and debris clean-up needs, followed by an unusual water in basement complaint that same month. Some more recent concerns include an open request from June 2026 regarding public way inspection, though this appears to be the only unresolved complaint in the immediate past. Other documented incidents include a snow removal-related complaint in December 2025 and an alley sewer inspection request from December 2024, both of which were successfully resolved. While the building has experienced its share of maintenance issues, particularly in the tree management and water management domains, it's worth noting that many of these concerns have been addressed promptly once reported through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 5237 S Artesian 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

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.
