Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 5114 S Wood St in Chicago's New City neighborhood, owned by Aristeo Perez Vasquez, has been subject to minimal official oversight in recent years. Built in 1915, the property has recorded only one building violation in the past seven years, dating back to October 2019 from a complaint-driven inspection that remains open and unresolved. The building's service history shows seven 311 service requests between 2024 and 2026, though these primarily relate to property maintenance issues rather than serious safety concerns. These requests included three instances of graffiti removal (most recently in June 2026), one weed removal request, a clean vacant lot request, a 311 information call, and a garbage cart maintenance issue, all of which were closed satisfactorily. Notably, there has been only one building permit filed in the past seven years, suggesting limited recent construction or major repairs on the property. While the open violation from 2019 warrants attention, the pattern of service requests appears to be more indicative of routine maintenance and cleanliness concerns rather than systemic building issues.

Risk rating

How 5114 S Wood St'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.
