Initial analysis

The two-unit residential property at 5532 S Pulaski Rd in the West Elsdon neighborhood, owned by Jorge Gutierrez, has been in operation since 1958 and is part of a four-parcel ownership. The building's recent history, spanning from 2025-2026, shows a pattern of maintenance and infrastructure-related issues requiring attention, with three open requests as of 2026 including tree emergency work, sign repairs, and an open fire hydrant complaint. Two graffiti removal requests from September 2025 appear to have been successfully resolved. The property has recorded two building violations in the past seven years, though the specific nature and resolution of these violations are not detailed in the available data. Notably, the building's 311 service request activity shows a significant volume of 33 total requests by the owner over the past seven years, indicating regular engagement with municipal services, though the majority of these requests occurred in 2025-2026. Given the age of the building (65 years old as of 2023) and the number of recent service requests, it appears the property requires ongoing monitoring for maintenance and infrastructure needs.

Risk rating

How 5532 S Pulaski Rd'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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 428 buildings in this neighborhood, 231 are predicted to be safer.
