Initial analysis

The 4-unit residential building at 5924 S Maplewood Ave in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, owned by Jose Gonzalez, has experienced several concerning patterns over the past seven years. Most notably, three open complaint-driven inspection violations were recorded on August 5, 2023, which remain unresolved as of this report's preparation in October 2023. The building has generated 3 building violations during this seven-year period, while the owner has a substantially larger total of 28 building violations across 26 owned parcels. Service request patterns show 2 official 311 service requests specifically for tree trimming in March 2026, though these requests are no longer being accepted. An environmental complaint regarding illegal dumping was investigated in 2018 but was not substantiated according to the recorded resolution. The building has only one permit recorded during this seven-year period, and while the total of 210 service requests across all parcels owned by Gonzalez suggests active property management, the nature and resolution status of these requests are not detailed in the provided records.

Risk rating

How 5924 S Maplewood 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
25thpercentile
