Unlock complete reportThe four-unit building at 5708 S Western Ave in Gage Park, owned by Miriam Ramirez and constructed in 1929, has a relatively sparse record over the past 7 years with only two building violations, one of which remains open as of June 2020 and pertains to a permit-related inspection. The property has generated a higher number of 311 service requests, totaling 58 under the owner's name, though most of these are routine matters. Notably, there has been a recurring issue with graffiti on the property, with five documented removal requests between 2025 and 2026, all of which were successfully closed. The building also experienced a parking code enforcement review in early 2026, suggesting possible concerns with parking management in the vicinity. Earlier records show one environmental complaint from 2025 regarding illegal dumping, which was promptly referred to another agency, and a historical air pollution complaint from 2008 is the only recorded environmental issue prior to 2025. While the building's violation and complaint history is not excessively concerning, the pattern of graffiti incidents and the unresolved building violation from 2020 warrant attention.
