AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 5720 S Mayfield Ave 3 in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood, owned by J Dela Torre & B Barafas, has recorded a series of service requests over the past several years, with all requests occurring within the last three years between 2024 and 2026. The most recent issues, as of June 2026, involve two tree emergencies and a pothole complaint in the street, with all three incidents being resolved. The property has also required yard maintenance services, as evidenced by two closed yard waste pick-up requests in June and September 2024. Of particular note is a tree planting request submitted in April 2024 that remains open, indicating an ongoing need for vegetation management or landscape improvements in the vicinity. While the building's service request history shows regular interaction with city services, the nature of these requests primarily relates to external environmental maintenance rather than internal building issues, suggesting the property itself has not required significant intervention or repair services over this period.

Risk rating

How 5720 S Mayfield Ave 3'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

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.

Elevated violation and complaint history. City inspectors have found issues here before and are statistically likely to again.
