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 two-flat residential building at 5818 S Talman Ave in the Gage Park neighborhood, owned by Marisela Mayorga, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1918. The property owner holds two total parcels, and building-related records show that there have been 62 service requests associated with the owner in the past seven years, along with only two building permits during the same period. The most recent cluster of service requests is particularly notable, with four open requests in 2026 alone, including sign repairs, sidewalk inspections, and public way inspections, suggesting potentially ongoing maintenance or compliance issues. This pattern is somewhat concerning, given that the majority of the building's recent service requests are related to infrastructure and public safety matters. The historical data also shows some parking-related issues in 2026, with one abandoned vehicle complaint and two parking code enforcement reviews, though these were resolved quickly. While the building has consistently generated service requests over the past seven years, with 34 being filed through the 311 system, the relatively low number of building permits suggests limited documented structural or major system upgrades to the property during this period.

Risk rating

How 5818 S Talman 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.

Neighborhood percentile
