Initial analysis

The two-story residential property at 5819 S Sacramento Ave in the Gage Park neighborhood, built in 1924 and currently owned by Blanca H Matos, has experienced several maintenance and environmental challenges over the past seven years. The most significant recent issue involves an apparent ongoing concern with water infiltration, as evidenced by three consecutive basement water complaints filed in August 2025. These incidents, which were brought to the attention of the Alderman's office, suggest a potentially persistent moisture problem in the building. The property has also required attention to winter weather conditions, with an ice and snow removal request made in December 2025, though this issue has since been resolved. More recently, in April 2026, there are two open service requests, including one for tree removal inspection and another related to a blue recycling cart, indicating current matters requiring municipal attention. Overall, while the building has had relatively few service requests (just 12 in total over seven years), the clustering of water-related issues in mid-2025 and the recent open requests in 2026 are notable points of concern regarding the property's current maintenance status.

Risk rating

How 5819 S Sacramento 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.
