Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5915 S Maplewood Ave 2 in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, owned by Jose Luis Antonio, has been experiencing a series of maintenance and safety issues, particularly in the summer of 2025. The 1913 structure, which is documented to have two parcels, has accumulated two open building code violations as of August 2025, though the specific nature of these unresolved complaints is not detailed in the available records. The property has a notable history of water-related issues, evidenced by multiple "Water in Basement Complaint" service requests - two of which were filed in July-August 2025 alone. The building's maintenance history also shows attention to structural components, with requests for porch inspections and plumbing violations being documented in August 2025, as well as a sewer cleaning inspection request in January 2026. While these service requests have been closed, the presence of open building code violations and the pattern of water-related issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's records over the past seven years show relatively few violations and service requests compared to similar properties, with only two building violations and seven 311 service requests being recorded, though the frequency of recent issues is notable.

Risk rating

How 5915 S Maplewood Ave 2'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.
