Initial analysis

The property at 5034 South Winchester Avenue, a two-parcel building located in the New City neighborhood, dates back to 1888 and is currently owned by Jose I Mendoza. The building's recent service request record over the past seven years (2017-2024) shows minimal activity, with only four 311 service requests filed in that period. These requests, all initiated through the Alderman's office, include routine municipal matters such as garbage cart maintenance (November 2025), blue recycling cart requests (May 2025), a tree removal inspection (September 2024), and an abandoned vehicle complaint (June 2024). The relatively low number of service requests, particularly given the building's age and the typical municipal service needs of residential properties, suggests either good property maintenance or potentially underreported issues. The most recent requests from 2025 relate to waste management services, while a tree inspection and vehicle complaint were logged in 2024, with all requests recorded as closed.

Risk rating

How 5034 S Winchester 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.
