Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 5045 S Wood St, owned by Felipe Ramirez, is a 1912 structure located in Chicago's New City neighborhood. The property has experienced several regulatory and maintenance issues over the past seven years, with particular concern regarding building code violations. Most notably, there are currently two open building code violations as of mid-2024, which were generated from complaint-driven inspections, marking them as unresolved issues. These follow a series of resolved violations from September 2022, though the pattern of multiple violations in the same month suggests recurring problems.

Risk rating

How 5045 S Wood St 1'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.
